Description

A comprehensive examination of the security state’s extensive surveillance of Indigenous struggles for land and autonomy. This book raises critical questions regarding the expansion of the security apparatus, the normalization of police surveillance targeting social movements, the relationship between police and energy corporations, the criminalization of dissent, and threats to civil liberties and collective action in an era of extractive capitalism and hyper surveillance.

“An accessible must-read for all Canadians concerned about respectful relations with indigenous people and the decline of civil rights in the war-on-terror era.”
