Recensioner i media

"This is one of the best collections of its kind. Written by leading anthropologists, this volume takes up Foucault's challenge to modern knowledge and significantly expands the discourse on our current cultural and epistemological predicament."—Bill Maurer, University of California, Irvine"Ranging across colonialism, globalization, technoscience, biosociality, and necropolitics, each gem in this superbly integrated collection demonstrates how anthropologists inspired by Foucault’s ideas about modern government can transcend his Eurocentrism while building on his original provocations."—John Gledhill, University of Manchester
