A compact Australian introduction to Foucault, aimed at making the big machinery usable rather than just reverent. 

Good for readers coming to Foucault through cultural studies, media theory, politics, education, gender, sociology, or anyone who keeps hearing “discourse” thrown around like academic confetti and wants to know what the word was doing before it got spiritually gentrified. Less “great man of theory” and more “here is the toolkit; now go notice the prison bars inside everyday common sense.” Accessible, student-friendly, but still useful — the sort of primer that helps Foucault stop sounding like a haunted filing cabinet.

Paperback. First published 2000 by Allen & Unwin. Number line runs to 1, so likely first printing. Some visible cover rubbing/handling wear, but internally clean and sound.
