James M. Harding is Professor of Theatre and Performance Studies at the University of Maryland, College Park. He is the author of Performance, Transparency and the Cultures of Surveillance; The Ghosts of the Avant- Garde(s): Exorcising Experimental Theater and Performance; and Cutting Performances: Collage Events, Feminist Artists, and the American Avant-Garde, among other books.

James Harding's Performance, Transparency, and the Cultures of Surveillance is a powerful and potentially field-changing book . . . It is a critical call to arms, thoroughly steeped in the surveillance studies literature and replete with insights and epiphanies . . . this is an engaging and important book that does not eschew confrontation but nonetheless strikes an honest and compassionate tone. The field would certainly grow if it wrestled with Harding's critiques and sought to actualize its own versions of the artistically inspired political activism his book describes. —Torin Monahan, Surveillance & Society
