Seek and Hide: The Tangled History of the Right to Privacy

byAmy Gajda

An urgent book for today’s privacy wars, and essential reading on how the courts have–for centuries–often protected privileged men’s rights at the cost of everyone else’s. The research behind Seek and Hide draws together archival evidence, political analysis, and reconstructed events to show how the central story changed over time. The result links the tangled history of the right to privacy with debates in history and law, showing where public institutions and private experience meet. Accessible without flattening the complexity, Seek and Hide gives readers a focused account of what changed, who was affected, and why the story endures.
