Race and the Education of Desire: Foucault's History of Sexuality and the Colonial Order of Things by Ann Laura Stoler

4.0

Stoler uses Foucault's lectures on biopower, racism, and the history of sexuality as a theoretical framework for analysis of Dutch colonialism and power. While thorough for the geographical context and historical time Stoler's research specializes in, her interpretation may be less applicable for other colonial ventures, such as the colonization of N/S America. Interesting and thoughtful, though, and recommended for political theory buffs and Foucault fanatics.
