[Foucault-L] The History of Sexuality volume 1 and western vs eastern sexuality

Does anyone else think that the History of Sexuality volume 1 is intending
to generalize world sexuaity experiences or do you think it is functioning
to analyze western sexuality rather than generalizing all experiences of
sexuality? Some postcolonial critics think it is wrong to not talk about
colonial discursive effects on eastern sexualities. I feel sometimes people
approach Foucault too much as a universal thinker in the vein of thinkers
like Marx, rather than someone who is regionally focused.
