The Passport in America: The History of a Document
Robertson, Craig (Associate Professor of Communication Studies, Associate Professor of Communication Studies, Northeastern University)
How the passport developed as a document speaks to migration studies, diplomatic and legal history, and, more generally, to those interested in the history and development of surveillance technologies. Craig Robertson explains how Americans learned to document an identity, who can establish such an identity, and to what purpose such an identity can be put.
