The Cambridge Foucault Lexicon

"At about 700 pages and with entries on 117 topics, it’s a Foucault encyclopedia. No one is going to read it straight through, but it’s invaluable to find brief explanations of unfamiliar points. It’s also good for random browsing. The articles typically range from 3-8 pages and cover both terms and people relevant to Foucault’s work. There’s also a very thorough index, and each entry has a list of suggested readings. I count about 72 different authors, including most of the leading Foucault scholars of the day. There are excellent pieces by the editors Leonard Lawlor and John Nale, as well as the authors of our first three books (Oksala, May, and McWhorter). There are also notable entries by other distinguished Foucault scholars: Amy Allen (politics), Judith Revel (power), Colin Koopman (problematisation), Alan Schrift (Nietzsche), and Thomas Flynn (Sartre)—among many others."
