Of What Help Is He? A Review of "Foucault and Education" [Book Review].

Roth, Jeffrey

American Educational Research Journal, v29 n4 p683-94 Win 1992

The nine essays of this anthology attempt to apply some ideas of the French philosopher/historian Michel Foucault (1926-84) to past and present school practice. However, to follow Foucault's lead is to risk embracing a state of perpetual uncertainty about the fabrication of knowledge and power. (SLD)
