Me again,

You can also go the Birmingham School Route (in the mid-late 1970's).  The
seminal work being, _Policing the Crisis, Mugging the State_  Hall, Stuart
et al.

Others will be able to offer you a less narrow trajectory.

Regards--

Hello Eric-

Depending on your interest, there is an ostensible geneaology set off by
Foucault and Deleuze in their discussion, "Intellectuals and Power" in
_Language, counter-memory, practice:  selected essays and interviews_.
Translated from the French by Donald F.  Bouchard and Sherry Simon.
>From (against) this, Spivak launches her seminal, "Can the Subaltern
Speak?" which leads to the School of Subaltern Studies (Gupta, Spivak).

Others in this Vein, James C. Scott (_Weapons of the Weak_); Basch et al.
_Nations Unbound_.  

Categorically, this should take you through the subaltern school into
discussions of hegemony, conscent, etc.  Or, at least that is where it
would take me.

Best of luck,
R
