Discipline and the Other Body Correction, Corporeality, Colonialism

"Discipline and the Other Body offers a brilliant and multifaceted exploration of the ways in which colonial power worked with the human body. Covering a great variety of colonial contexts, the contributors bring to light the connections between what Michel Foucault called biopower and the lived experience of colonial violence."-Timothy Mitchell, author of Rule of Experts: Egypt, Techno-Politics, Modernity "Here, finally, is a collection that forces us to think broadly and comparatively about the relationship between colonial power and the body, about the very interventions and invasions that made colonialism so embodied a practice. This volume will allow people like myself to teach colonialism in a way that bridges culture, politics, and gender in powerful ways."-Luise White, author of Speaking with Vampires: Rumor and History in Colonial Africa
