In this ground-breaking ethnography of girls on a playground, Goodwin offers a window into their complex social worlds.

- Examines the stances that girls on a playground in a multicultural school setting assume and shows how they position themselves in their peer groups
- Documents the language practices and degradation rituals used to sanction friends and to bully others
- Part of the Blackwell Studies in Discourse and Culture Series
