G. Preparata 
The Ideology of Tyranny 
Bataille, Foucault, and the Postmodern Corruption of Political Dissent

The book ascribes the late state of paralysis affecting dissent in America to the adoption of a peculiar gospel of divisiveness, which was promoted in the Eighties by importing from France the ‘theories’ of philosopher Michel Foucault.
