Reviews
The essays in this volume explore many interesting and important themes and events and show how Foucauldian analytics may be used to understand and interpret the history of our many presents. ... the essays in this volume are a valuable contribution to those looking to use Foucault's concepts and methodology to understand contemporary situations. Each offers us new ways of understanding, theorizing and resisting the power relations still in operation today. (Jordan Liz, marxandphilosophy.org.uk, August, 2016)
