Subject: Re: Foucault and education
From: Mohammed Abouzaid <mabouzai-AT-richmond.edu>


you can always try spanos's rethinking education, published by university of
minnesota press in 91 if I remember correctly. i'm not sure it's precisely a
foucauldian perspective but he certainly borrows much from his work.  there
was also a chronicle of higher education article about the book that was
quite laudatory.

btw, does anyone know wither comes deleuze's quote about foucault being a
"garde imbecile."
