This book explores how technologies of media, medicine, law and
governance enable and constrain the mobility of bodies within
geographies of space and race. Each chapter describes and critiques
the ways in which contemporary technologies produce citizens
according to their statistical risk or value in an atmosphere of
generalised security, both in relation to categories of race, and
within the new possibilities for locating and managing bodies in
space. The topics covered include: drone warfare, the global
distribution of HIV-prevention drugs, racial profiling in airports,
Indigenous sovereignty, consumer lifestyle apps and their
ecological and labour costs, and anti-aging therapies. Security,
Race, Biopower makes innovative contributions to multiple
disciplines and identifies emerging social and political concerns
with security, race and risk that invite further scholarly
attention. It will be of great interest to scholars and students in
disciplinary fields including Media and Communication, Geography,
Science and Technology Studies, Political Science and Sociology.
