Subject: Re: (tardy) Normalization and Control


Hi, I don't really know if this follow up to this subject is appropriate, 
but I'll give it a shot:
Has anyone read Rothman's _Discovery of the Asylum_?  Some of my own work 
has been on normalization and exclusion, and this book was suggested to 
me as sort of an American version of Foucault, if not as radical a 
critique.  Does anyone have any comments on Rothman or his work?

Thanks,
John R. Vantine,
