Michel Foucault's The Archaeology of Knowledge was published in March 1969; Discipline and Punish in February 1975. Although only six years apart, the difference in tone is stark: the former is a methodological treatise, the latter a call to arms. What accounts for the radical shift in Foucault's approach? Foucault's time in Tunisia had been a political awakening for him, and he returned to a France much changed by the turmoil of 1968. He taught at the experimental University of Vincennes and then moved to a prestigious position at the Collège de France. He quickly became involved in activist work concerning prisons and health issues such as abortion rights, and in his seminars he built research teams to conduct collaborative work, often around issues related to his lectures and activism. Foucault: The Birth of Power makes use of a range of archival material, including newly available documents at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, to provide a detailed intellectual history of Foucault as writer, researcher, lecturer and activist. Through a careful reconstruction of Foucault's work and preoccupations, Elden shows that, while Discipline and Punish may be the major published output of this period, it rests on a much wider range of concerns and projects.

It is sometimes difficult to remember what life was like in the late '60's, and to be fair to an intellectual of the era. Faulcault certainly was a child of his time and many of his views are coloured by the, now dated, flower power tinted spectacles of the age. Behind this, however, there are thoughts well worth retaining in our 'enlightened' twenty-first century life. Eldon is a transparent window into this world and, as far as a mere amateur, such as myself, can tell, illuminates his philosophy well.
I suspect that this book would yield so much more to a true acolyte of Faulcault but, is also an excellent introduction to the average reader. ( )
