Excerpt from The History and Growth of the United States Census: Prepared for the Senate Committee on the Census The general consideration of the primary purpose for which the decennial enumeration was established, and its subsequent develop ment into a census of the population, wealth, and industry of the Nation, involves very properly a consideration of the purely conjee tural estimates of population in colonial times, and brief mention is made, therefore, of some of the statements of colonial population which preceded the first regular enumeration of the inhabitants of the United States in 17 90.

This fascinating three-thousand-year history of the census traces the making of the modern survey and explores its political power in the age of big data and surveillance. In April 2020, the United States will embark on what has been called "the largest peacetime mobilization in American history": the decennial population census. It is part of a tradition of counting people that goes back at least three millennia and now spans the globe. In The Sum of the People, data scientist Andrew Whitby traces the remarkable history of the census, from ancient China and the Roman Empire, through revolutionary America and Nazi-occupied Europe, to the steps of the Supreme Court. Marvels of democracy, instruments of exclusion, and, at worst, tools of tyranny and genocide, censuses have always profoundly shaped the societies we've built. Today, as we struggle to resist the creep of mass surveillance, the traditional census -- direct and transparent -- may offer the seeds of an alternative.
