====The history of domestic surveillance is inseparable from the history of slavery. Lists of human cargo, plantation inventories, and diaries were used by masters to govern slaves, to impose domination onto unwilling bodies. Disciplinary power utilizing information technology such as slave patrols or wanted posters functioned to create a __racially stratified__ security system, imposing a compulsory visibility upon the black body as communicated through the literacy of the White body—it is from this that contemporary policing and surveillance arises. Simone Browne, in 2012, explains that…====
