About this book

This book provides a welcome assessment of the wide-ranging impact of Michel Foucault's work upon a number of disciplines within the social sciences and humanities. It offers close textual readings of Foucault's work along with clear overviews of how his work has been taken up in subjects such as history, philosophy and international relations. It also offers original applications of his work to important topics within feminist theory, political theory, the sociology of race, and socio-legal studies.

Reviews

'...an interesting and useful book, treading carefully and wisely through the disparate interpretations of Foucault's writings.' - Cathy Greenfield, Australian Journal of Political Science
