foucault, power and authenticity


Hi,

I'm presently working on researching notions of authenticity and authentic
identities.
My focus is on the desire to attain an "authentic state of being/ authentic
identity", through the "construction" of ethnicity. I would be very
interested to know if there are any works by Foucault on the notion of
Authenticity as a form of power, or anything related to it.
