The final volume in the definitive collection of Foucault's articles, interviews, and seminars.

Power, the third and final volume of The New Press's Essential Works of Foucaultseries, draws together Foucault s contributions to what he saw as the still-underdeveloped practice of political analysis. It covers the domains Foucault helped to make part of the core agenda of Western political culture medicine, psychiatry, the penal system, sexuality illuminating and expanding on the themes of The Birth of the Clinic, Discipline and Punish, and the first volume of The History of Sexuality.
