Description
In this incisive work, Marilyn Frye examines how power shapes what people come to accept as “real,” arguing that political life is inseparable from the ways reality is defined, enforced, and experienced. Through clear, provocative analysis, she explores the mechanisms by which domination operates—especially when it is normalized through language, institutions, and everyday perception. The book connects personal experience to broader social structures, showing how constraints can be both visible and disguised, and how resistance begins with naming what has been made to seem inevitable. Frye’s distinctive style blends philosophical rigor with sharp moral clarity, making this a foundational text for readers interested in politics, oppression, and the struggle over meaning.
