Reviews

This volume dismantles any simple link between Foucault and neoliberalism, leaving us with parts for reassembly into politics of our own. -- Quinn Slobodian, Associate Professor of History, Wellesley College

This volume dismantles any simple link between Foucault and neoliberalism, leaving us with parts for reassembly into politics of our own. -- Quinn Slobodian, Associate Professor of History, Wellesley College Foucault's lectures on liberal and neoliberal governmentality at the end of the 1970s have provoked multiple controversies over the evolution of his thought and politics. This excellent collection of essays provides a wealth of historical detail and analysis that helps to situate these lectures in relation to their time and to the trajectory and sources of his thought. This book is indispensable for an informed appreciation of Foucault's work during this period and its relation to a key moment in French and global history. -- Paul Patton, Hongyi Chair Professor of Philosophy, Wuhan University
