It would seem from reading Stuart Elden's synopsis of <<Les Anormaux>> (2001, 'The Constitution of the Normal,' in "boundary 2" 28 (1): 91-105) that racism, as it is figured in the 1975 course, is tied to anatamo-political discipline, specifically psychiatry (102); whereas in SMBD, it is tied more to bio-political regulation, and government. However, in both instances it seems to be related to the emergence of man-as-species (97), which conflicts with the demarcation that Foucault's makes between man-as-body (organic, individual) and man-as-species (biological, population), in SMBD (242).
