Political Genealogy After Foucault e-bog

Combining the most powerful elements of Foucault's theories, Clifford produces a methodology for cultural and political critique called "e;political genealogy"e; to explore the genesis of modern political identity. At the core of American identity, Clifford argues, is the ideal of the "e;Savage Noble,"e; a hybrid that married the Native American "e;savage"e; with the "e;civilized"e; European male. This complex icon animates modern politics, and has shaped our understandings of rights, freedom, and power.
