Abuse and westernization: Reflections on strategies of power
Article Abstract:
Some basic dissemination and internalization strategies of power relations on several levels are uncovered by using Foucault's concepts of power relations, discourse and internalization. First, it looks at power at the individual level and then applies this analysis to Westernization in Africa, arguing that the basis strategies by which power is disseminated and internalized into the bodies, psyches and cultures of Africans are the same as in abuse.
