In this major contribution to the power debate, Clarissa Rile Hayward challenges the prevailing view of power as something powerful people have and use. Rather than seeing it as having a 'face,' she argues for a view of power as a complex network of social boundariesnorms, identities, institutionswhich define individual freedom, for 'powerful' and 'powerless' alike. The book's argument is supported by a comparative analysis of relationships within two ethnicallydiverse educational settingsa lowincome, predominantly AfricanAmerican urban school; and an affluent, predominantly white, suburban school.
