| Abstract: | The article argues that the microsocial process of student defiance is less characterized by individual traits of race and class than by the formal and informal organizational characteristics of social settings. Using unique data on resistance in multiple schools and classrooms, the author finds that defiant behaviours arise when instructional formats give students access to public discourse and when students have advantaged social network relations. The results suggest that resistant behaviour is more the result of organizational features of social netorks and instruction than "alienation" factors, and is therefore rectifiable through classroom management. |
