Oz Frankel is the author of the book, States of Inquiry: Social Investigations and Print Culture in Nineteenth Century Britain and the United States, published by the John Hopkins University Press in 2006. In this book, Frankel explores the nineteenth-century roots of the modern "information state," specifically the roles of investigative projects and official reports in embedding the state in print culture and refashioning the politics of representation.
