Offers a sweeping political history of habit and its use to govern conduct across a range of past and contemporary regimes of power. Bennett considers habit’s uses and effects across the monastic regimens of medieval Europe, in plantation slavery and the factory system, through colonial forms of rule, and within a range of medicalized pathologies.
