A sociological study examining the effects of informal social control--the response to behavior or people regarded as deviant, problematic, threatening, or undesirable--in everyday life in a lesbian community in the heartland of the United States. Based on interviews, participant-observation, and document sources gathered over a period of nine years (1994 to 2003), the book anyalyzes the effects of social control on relations of power (based on race, class, and sexual identity) among diverse members of a lesbian community. |
