The successes and failures of an industry that claims to protect
and promote our online identities What does privacy mean in the
digital era? As technology increasingly blurs the boundary between
public and private, questions about who controls our data become
harder and harder to answer. Our every web view, click, and online
purchase can be sold to anyone to store and use as they wish. At
the same time, our online reputation has become an important part
of our identity-a form of cultural currency. The Identity Trade
examines the relationship between online visibility and privacy,
and the politics of identity and self-presentation in the digital
age. In doing so, Nora Draper looks at the revealing two-decade
history of efforts by the consumer privacy industry to give
individuals control over their digital image through the sale of
privacy protection and reputation management as a service. Through
in-depth interviews with industry experts, as well as analysis of
media coverage, promotional materials, and government policies,
Draper examines how companies have turned the protection and
promotion of digital information into a business. Along the way,
she also provides insight into how these companies have responded
to and shaped the ways we think about image and reputation in the
digital age. Tracking the successes and failures of companies
claiming to control our digital ephemera, Draper takes us inside an
industry that has commodified strategies of information control.
This book is a discerning overview of the debate around who
controls our data, who buys and sells it, and the consequences of
treating privacy as a consumer good.

A Burden of Silence: between a daughter and her sixty-six year old
mother who was transfused with HIV positive blood during heart
bypass surgery. It will evoke emotions of faith, inspiration,
anger, and overwhelming love. The reader will also smile at the
funny, tender moments that Ms. Draper writes about in her story.
lonely journey through AIDS. Because her mother was not part of a
so-called AIDS risk group, she felt ignored, rejected, stigmatized,
and ashamed. For years, she suffered in excruciating silence. Nancy
has given her mother's story a voice. There are lessons for
everyone in this book-lessons about acceptance, compassion, and
forgiveness. -Ann Webster, Ph.D., director, HIV/AIDS Program,
Mind/Body Institute, Boston, MA dying mother. This story about a
grandmother who developed AIDS from a contaminated blood
transfusion, will inspire admiration for Ms. Draper's courage and
persistence. It will also inspire rage against the blood banks that
failed to screen blood donations adequately. -Ann Pozen, Psy.D.,
president, National Association for Victims of Transfusion-Acquired
AIDS, Inc., Bethesda, MD AIDS patients as human beings. We need to
provide them with compassion and empathy instead of treating them
as if they were dirty untouchable, unworthy people. In the end, I
believe it is people like Nancy's mother teaching us about love and
acceptance. Hopefully, her dying in silence will wake us up because
I don't want anyone else to suffer in silence like we have.'
Nancy's mother must be very proud of her and this account of three
years of fear, heartache, some good days and always deep love. Here
Nancy tells the rest of a story that she summarized in our March
1999 issue and wrote under a pseudonym. Thanks, Nancy
