Foucault and the government of disability

Curran, Tillie

Abstract

In this second edition of Foucault and the Government of Disability there are four new chap- ters in Part v, ‘Disability and Governmentality in the Present’, but it is a book worth reading from the start for the rst time and for the second time. This review cannot cover Foucault’s work but aims to convey something of its value and impact that the authors o er in their highly engaging chapters.
