'Imaginative, illuminating and innovative' The New York Times Book
Review The grisly spectacle of public executions and torture of
centuries ago has been replaced by the penal system in western
society - but has anything really changed? In his revolutionary
work on control and power relations in our public institutions,
Michel Foucault argues that the development of prisons, police
organizations and legal hierarchies has merely changed the focus of
domination from our bodies to our souls. Even schools, factories,
barracks and hospitals, in which an individual's time is controlled
hour by hour, are part of a disciplinary society. 'Foucault's
genius is called forth into the eloquent clarity of his passions
... his best book' Washington Post
