I just want to second this recommendation by Steve. I have tried
assigning a number of different Foucault pieces in an attempt to teach
Foucault to undergrads without a philosophy background. The Rouse essay
works the best of any of them, especially when coupled with a few
excerpts from HoS Vol. I.
