Reviews

...this selection of papers touches on the importance of Foucault's work for Politics, Law, Psychiatry, Health Care and The French Context...there are some good individual pieces here. Political Studies Review Michel Foucault's work was an invitation to think differently and this volume's contributors respond superbly to it in their analyses of how power needs to be thought about today. Foucault would have learned much from it. Readers will take away renewed appreciation for Foucault's legacy and for its timeliness in understanding the twenty-first century's dangerous challenges to each person's care of the self. -- James Bernauer, Boston College
