Recenzje

". . . 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." -- Religious Studies Review
