Reviews
"A methodical and insightful account of the cultural production of differential systems of oppression that characterize the surveillant present. . . . What's notable throughout is the incisiveness of Monahan's critique which refuses to shy away from scrutiny even as he lauds each artwork for its investigation of crisis vision." -- Gary Kafer * Journal of Cultural Economy *
"The contribution of Monahan's Crisis Vision: Race and the Cultural Production of Surveillance to the surveillance studies body of work is unique in its line of inquiry and the theoretical tools that it gifts to the intersectional field of surveillance studies scholars and artists." -- Ausma Bernot * International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy *
"Crisis Vision offers a richly textured methodological framework for better understanding the myriad ways in which visuality is put to the service of surveillance cultures rooted in racial prejudice and violence. Monahan 's call for a disruptive politics rooted in relations of collective opacity, and his thoughtful deliberation on contemporary art practices that answer this call, is a most welcome addition to the field of critical surveillance studies." -- Claudette Lauzon * Surveillance & Society *
