Description

Explore the complex reality of legal identification in Africa with this academic study from Routledge. As many African states turn to biometric technology to solve the problem of millions of people lacking legal identity, this book examines these processes from the bottom up. It looks at how these technologies impact the actual relationship between citizens and the state. While many governments view biometrics as a way to increase efficiency and reduce fraud, this research suggests different outcomes. The book investigates how biometric systems can participate in reinforcing social exclusion and how they impact debates regarding citizenship and national belonging. It provides a deep look at the documentary state and the ways individuals navigate bureaucratic systems in a global biometric era.
