Privacy in America

"This collection of essays represents original and interdisciplinary work in which respected scholars address a number of privacy issues. They include the devlopment and deployment of governmental and private-sector technologies that can pose serious compromises to the privacy of individuals and groups; information--and communication-- system designs that pose threats to privacy; the management of private concerns (child care, job leave, and identity) as public issues amenable to political action and shared awareness; and the fundamental asymmetry of power that exists between individuals and small groups on the one hand and large governmental and corporate entities on the other. Organized into three sections--law and policy; information technology; and information studies, history, and sociology--Privacy in America: Interdisciplinary Perspectives will be useful to scholars, practitioners, and students in a variety of fields, including information science, library science, and information systems"--Provided by publisher.
