Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
"A candid, unbuttoned Foucault" praises rock music and admits how boring it was to write some of his books, says he hates France's social security system and glorifies Khomeini's fundamentalist revolution. "By gathering the late Foucault's scattered interviews and a few lectures, this omnibus helps render his dense thoughts more accessible," observed PW.

Review
. . . fills an important niche in presenting a significant number of Foucault's writings that otherwise would remain unavailable to an English-language audience. . . . this work demonstrates acute insights that illuminate the so-called `normal' world.
–American Journal of Art Therapy
These writings evince Foucault at his most lucid. Kritzman's introduction is most helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great finetuning of Foucault,
By A Customer
This review is from: Politics, Philosophy, Culture: Interviews and Other Writings, 1977-1984 (Paperback)
This is great for general reading on Foucault. It does a great job tying together a lot of the things Foucault tried to say in his books. If you're a policy debater trying to become a Foucault buff, get this book. The chapter on critique does an excellent job drawing the distinction between criticism and transformation. It's good stuff :)

This review is from: Politics, Philosophy, Culture: Interviews and Other Writings, 1977-1984 (Paperback)
I received my book a few weeks after my command which is fair if you consider I live in France. It is very interesting to search in the book what you need to with Amazon.
