Description
Michel Foucault's theories have played a powerful role in the intellectual life of Latin America. Within Latin American studies such concepts as the consciousness of the intellectual elite (letrados), the archive novel, the foundational fiction, and self-writing - all indebted to Foucault - are now the common currency of critical analysis. Foucault and Latin America is the first volume to trace the influence of Foucault's theories on power, discourse, government, subjectivity, and sexuality in Latin American thought.
