About the Author:
A student and colleague of Michel Foucault shows how public intervention in family affairs since the eighteenth century effected radical changes in a traditionally private domain.
Jacques Donzelot is professor of political science at the University of Paris-X, Nanterres, and an urban planning advisor for the Ministry of Land Management in Paris. He is a founder, along with Michel Foucault, the Prison Information Group (G.I.P). His books include L'invention du social and, with Philippe Estèbe, L'État animateur.
