A groundbreaking collection of writings by Michel Foucault and the Prisons Information Group documenting their efforts to expose Frances inhumane treatment of prisoners Founded by Michel Foucault and others in 197071, the Prisons Information Group (GIP) circulated information about the inhumane conditions within the French prison system. Intolerable makes available for the first time in English a fully annotated compilation of materials produced by the GIP during its brief but influential existence, including an exclusive new interview with GIP member Hlne Cixous and writings by Gilles Deleuze and Jean Genet. These archival documentspublic announcements, manifestos, reports, pamphlets, interventions, press conference statements, interviews, and round table discussionstrace the GIPs establishment in post-1968 political turmoil, the new models of social activism it pioneered, the prison revolts it supported across France, and the retrospective assessments that followed its denouement. At the same time, Intolerable offers a rich, concrete exploration of Foucaults concept of resistance, providing a new understanding of the arc of his intellectual development and the genesis of his most influential book, Discipline and Punish. Presenting the account of Frances most vibrant prison resistance movement in its own words and on its own terms, this significant and relevant collection also connects the approach and activities of the GIP to radical prison resistance movements today.
