Stoler describes her youth as one of the formative aspects of her research interests, specifically of being aware of the “quotidian weight of distinctions” as a Jewish girl in class-conscious mid-20th century Long Island, adjacent to New York City and its worlds of taste and racial difference. In a 2019 interview in ''DisClosure'', she said: “Categories of people and things, race was inscribed in that everyday--ineveryday—in who was not in our schools, where my father worked but did not play, where winter vacations took us, in places my family would not go. I’m ever more convinced that race was a subtext in my growing up--thoseup—those who would be excluded and those places my parents feared I might be excluded from.”<ref name=":2" />
 
Stoler describes her research and writing as a search for elusive and unyielding aspects of power. “Understanding how power works has long pulled me in different directions--fromdirections—from Marx to Foucault to Marguerite Duras, and back again through Raymond Williams’ 'structures of feeling' and again to Foucault …  [including] his forceful claim that 'every sentiment has a history.'"<ref name=":2" /> The [[affective]] aspects of the colonial and imperial state is a topic throughout Stoler’s work, from Dutch and French colonialism in Indonesia and Vietnam, to her recent work on Palestine and the U.S., showing how affects such as fear and disregard shape and entrench inequalities based on cultural categories such as race: “My work has pushed between inscription, prescription, and ascription, how race is inscribed in the colonial archives, how ways of being are prescribed for Europeans and how they in turn ascribe features to others, those populations who they so often saw as a potential threat.”<ref name=":2" />

==== ''Race and the Education of Desire: Foucault’s History of Sexuality and the Colonial Order of Things'' ====
In her 1995 book, ''Race and the Education of Desire: Foucault’s History of Sexuality and the Colonial Order of Things'' ([[Duke University Press]]), Stoler takes up two questions about the connections among colonialism, sexuality, and racism.<ref name=":6">{{Cite book|last=Stoler|first=Ann Laura|title=Race and the Education of Desire: Foucault’sFoucault's History of Sexuality and the Colonial Order of Things|publisher=Duke University Press|year=1995|isbn=978-0-8223-1690-9|location=Durham|pages=}}</ref>  Stoler draws on archival research, as well as Foucault’s 1976 Collège de France lectures, to rethink how we trace genealogies of race with and without European colonialism.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Beidelman|first=T.

==== ''Tensions of Empire: Colonial Cultures in a Bourgeois World'' ====
''Tensions of Empire: Colonial Cultures in a Bourgeois World'' is Ann Stoler’s third book, a volume co-edited with [[Frederick Cooper (historian)|Fredrick Cooper]]. Contributors to the volume are [[Homi K. Bhabha|Homi Bhabha]], [[Dipesh Chakrabarty]], [[Fanny Colonna]], [[John Comaroff]], [[Frederick Cooper (historian)|Fred Cooper]], [[Anna Davin]], Nancy Rose Hunt, Uday Mehta, Ann Laura Stoler, Susan Thorne, Luise White, Lora Wildenthal, and Gwendolyn Wright.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520206052/tensions-of-empire|title=Tensions of Empire|date=February 1997 |isbn=9780520206052 |language=en|last1=Cooper |first1=Frederick |last2=Stoler |first2=Ann Laura |publisher=University of California Press }}</ref>
''Tensions of Empire: Colonial Cultures in a Bourgeois World'' marked a turning point in the interdisciplinary study of colonialism.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520206052/tensions-of-empire|title=Tensions of Empire|language=en}}</ref> If thus far scholars had primarily studied how European colonialism impacted the colonized, ''Tensions of Empire'' inverted this by asking how colonial situations shape not only imperial projects, but also the events, conflicts, and conceptual worlds of the metropole? Co-edited by Ann Laura Stoler and [[Frederick Cooper (historian)|Fredrick Cooper]], ''Tensions of Empire'' is an example of the collaborative thinking and exchange present throughout Stoler’s work. In progress at the same time as ''Race and the Education of Desire'', as well as Stoler’s important 1991 “Carnal Knowledge and Imperial Power” chapter in the feminist volume ''Gender at the Crossroads of Knowledge'' (Micaela di Leonardo, editor; [[University of California Press]]),<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520070936/gender-at-the-crossroads-of-knowledge|title=Gender at the Crossroads of Knowledge|language=en}}</ref> ''Tensions of Empire'' shifted the intellectual landscape by unsettling the categories of both colonized and colonizer, and calling our collective attention to the way these shifting political categories were often made to appear stable and, as she put it, “benign.”
 
''Tensions of Empire'' contributes to an analysis of colonial powers, not as coherent and uniform forms of governance but rather as regimes made of contradictions and inconsistencies.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Callaway|first=Helen|date=1998|title=Review of Tensions of Empire: Colonial Cultures in a Bourgeois World.|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/3034526|journal=The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute|volume=4|issue=2|pages=368|doi=10.2307/3034526|jstor=3034526|issn=1359-0987}}</ref> The book is guided by a central query, which asks how colonial situations have shaped not only imperial projects, but also the events, conflicts, and conceptual worlds of the metropole.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Genova|first=James E.|date=1999|title=Review of Tensions of Empire: Colonial Cultures in a Bourgeois World|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/27672562|journal=International Labor and Working-Class History|issue=55|pages=154–156|doi=10.1017/S014754799922323X|jstor=27672562|s2cid=145731923 |issn=0147-5479}}</ref>

==== ''Carnal Knowledge and Imperial Power: Race and the Intimate in Colonial Rule'' ====
''Carnal Knowledge and Imperial Power: Race and the Intimate in Colonial Rule'' is often held up as Stoler’s signature work.<ref name=":7">{{Cite book|url=https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520262461/carnal-knowledge-and-imperial-power|title=Carnal Knowledge and Imperial Power|language=en}}</ref><ref name=":8" /><ref name=":9" /> Providingprovides an interpretive framework for identifying and making sense of the way that colonial rule intrudes into intimate relationships, impacting ideas and practices of privilege, property, sentiment, bodily connections, and categories of belonging such as race, class, and nationality. In Stoler’s words, the affective grid of colonial politics reveals how “domestic and familiar intimacies were critical  political sites in themselves where racial affiliations were worked out.”<ref name=":7">{{Cite book|url=https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520262461/carnal-knowledge-and-imperial-power|title=Carnal Knowledge and Imperial Power|date=February 2010 |isbn=9780520262461 |language=en|last1=Stoler |first1=Ann Laura |publisher=Univ of California Press }}</ref> Published in 2002 by [[University of California Press]], with a second edition released in 2010, ''Carnal Knowledge and Imperial Power'' brings together essays dating back to 1989.
