Maria,
Laura Stoller's _Race and the Education of Desire_ has some useful (and
often infuriating) criticisms to make about Foucault's relationship to the
third world.
There is a (very brief) discussion of human rights in my 'Divide and
govern: governmental aspects of the modern states system', which has juist
been published in R. Ericson, & N. Stehr (Eds.), _Governing Modern
Societies_ Toronto: University of Toronto Press. I'd appreciate your
comments.
best wishes,
barry
