The Anthem Companion to Pierre Bourdieu

Sommario/riassunto

<I>The Anthem Companion to Pierre Bourdieu</I> provides an introduction to the French sociologist’s thought and an evaluation of the international significance of his work from a range of national perspectives. This volume assesses Bourdieu’s work as a product of his social situation in France and, more importantly, in relation to his experience as French Algeria gained its independence. The companion then proceeds to ask how the concepts he developed can legitimately be applied to other situations.
