Reviews

An illuminating companion to Bourdieu's own writing and to his many and varied ideas ... For the uninitiated scholar wishing to understand Bourdieu this book offers a comprehensive introduction.
*Grainne Ketelaar, University of Ulster, in the International Journal of Contemporary Sociology*

Friend and collaborator Michael Grenfell offers a dense but cogent and charitable intellectual biography of Pierre Bourdieu. Highly recommended.
