Members of social groups, including communities, routinely exert
subtle forms of social control on others. The Web: Social Control
in a Lesbian Community is 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. The context of this study is a
lesbian community situated in the heartland of the United States.
Based on interviews, participant-observation, and document sources
gathered over a period of nine years, the book analyzes the effects
of social control on relations of power (based on race, class, and
sexual identity) among diverse members of a lesbian community.
Although much of what is represented in this book is unique to this
lesbian community, the forms and functions of social control
analyzed here can be found in any human community.
