from The Atlantic
Compiles 163 years of The Atlantic’s writing on race and racism in America.
“Modern-day workers are subjected to a wide variety of surveillance strategies, from drug tests and closed-circuit video monitoring to tracking apps and even devices that sense heat and motion...

The core impulse behind that technology pervaded plantations, which sought innermost control over the bodies of their enslaved work force.”
— MATTHEW DESMOND, THE 1619 PROJECT
