Summary |
"This short critical introduction to Pierre Bourdieu's thought is a model of clarity and insight. Where Bourdieu's own writings were often complex, even ambiguous, Richard Jenkins is direct, concise and to the point. He emphasizes Bourdieu's contributions to theory and methodology while also dealing in detail with his substantive studies of education, social stratification and culture. His book provides the best short English-language introduction to Bourdieu's work."--BOOK JACKET |
