Abstract

This chapter presents an enthnographic study of community activism in the UK, showing how local women and officials mediated the governmental turn to ‘community’ through their work with teenagers and their families. It situates the analysis in feminist critiques of the public/private dichotomy, suggesting how the changing context produces reconfigurations of public/private, male/female, and state/citizen in the ‘contact zones’ and ‘liminal spaces’ worked by local activists
