Book Synopsis
This short critical introduction to Pierre Bourdieuâs thought has been comprehensively brought up to date for the third edition. Where Bourdieuâs own writings are often complex, even ambiguous, Richard Jenkins is direct, concise and to the point. Emphasizing Bourdieuâs contributions to sociological and anthropological epistemology, Jenkins also deals in detail with Bourdieu's substantive studies of education, social stratification, cultural consumption, language, and rural society in transition. A model of clarity and insight, this book offers an accessible introduction to Bourdieuâs work for students, scholars, and all those interested in social thought.
