Oppression and the Critique of Power

What is power, and who really holds it in contemporary society? Is our government's power over us legitimate, and what are its proper limits? Do democracies really succeed in giving power to ordinary people? When is it right for citizens to rebel against the powers that be? Such questions and others will be addressed with reference to gender, race, disability and feminism.
