You might also find the work of Edward Said useful. Homi Bhabha and Gayatri
Spivak are interesting, but less Foucauldian. Said's Orientalism is, I
think, indebted to Foucault (and others) and is a great read. His later
Culture and Imperialism is also worth reading.
I'm sure there's other stuff - Paul Carter's The Road to Botany Bay is good
too.
