`As a companion to Foucaultâ²s original texts, carefully showing what heâ²s done and why - and how that could be applied elsewhere - itâ²s outstandingâ² - www.theory.org.uk

`Very much a `hands-onâ² tool kit of a book, scholarly but accessible.... a very useful textbook which approaches its subject in an original wayâ² - Sociological Research Online

`At last, a student-friendly guide that answers the question: "Yes, but how do you do Foucault?" Kendall and Wickham address the thorny question of how-to-Foucault in a clear, distinctive manner that stands out in the secondary literature on this important thinkerâ² - Toby Miller, New York University

This book provides a clear, straightforward guide to those who want to apply the work of Foucault to their own field of interest. The authors employ an accessible style to encourage readers to engage with Foucaultâ²s work by tackling the issues that students most often raise.

The book is organized around the following themes: history, archaeology, genealogy and discourse as the cornerstones of Foucaultâ²s methods; and science and culture as important objects of analysis for those using Foucaultâ²s methods. The book enables the reader to understand how Foucaultâ²s contribution to social thought can be applied and opens up possibilities for researchers to use Foucault rather than merely discuss him.
