Books and articles on Foucault
This list includes publications and theses produced since 1998 and only represents a fraction of the new material constantly appearing on Foucault. The selection here is quite arbitrary and only includes items that have been brought to my attention. A good place to search on the web for these and other new books in English either about Foucault or using his work is at Amazon Books. For books in French try Les mots à la bouche or FNAC. For a more extensive bibliography of secondary material (last updated Feb 2000) see Jeff Hearn's bibliography. See also the books reviews section of the Foucault Studies journal.
Please me to publicise your new publications here. Send me as much information as you like (eg publicity blurbs, abstracts etc etc).
