We Like to Watch

We Like to Watch gets its title from a Time magazine cover story on reality television and Americans' "passion for peeping". This book takes sociological theories of race and applies them to the study of surveillance in a style and format that can be easily adopted as a required text for undergraduate courses on Surveillance, New Media, Cultural Studies, Race and Ethnicity, American Studies, and Women and Gender Studies. Topics explored in this book include: reality television, CCTV and social media.
