Overview
- Now in paperback, the first English language book to assess and elaborate posthumously many of the key contributions of Pierre Bourdieu, the most significant French sociologist since Durkheim
- Over a dozen scholars from Europe and the United States contribute a sampling of the most recent and durable of the ongoing conversations, debates, and research orientations that Bourdieu launched
- Offers insight into central features of his sociology and examples of original research inspired by Boutdieu. No less important was Bourdieu's role as a public intellectual, whose critique of developments in contemporary society continue to reverberate in the debates surrounding globalism, privatization, and their effects on the disadvantaged
