On weekday afternoons, dismissal bells signal not just the end of the school day but also the beginning of another important activity: the federally funded afterschool programs that offer tutoring, homework help, and basic supervision to millions of American children. Nearly one in four lowincome families enroll a child in an afterschool program. Beyond sharpening students math and reading skills, these programs also have a profound impact on parents. In a surprising turnespecially given the long history of social policies that leave recipients feeling policed, distrusted, and alienatedgovernmentfunded afterschool programs have quietly become powerful forces for political and civic engagement by shifting power away from bureaucrats and putting it back into the hands of parents. In State of Empowerment Carolyn Barnes uses ethnographic accounts of three organizations to reveal how interacting with governmentfunded afterschool programs can enhance the civic and political lives of lowincome citizens.
