Description
Book SynopsisAn outcome of the author's preoccupation with reflexivity, this book is an application of his theories to his own life and intellectual trajectory. It also offers insights into the distinguished French intellectuals of the time - including Foucault, Sartre, Aron, Althusser, and de Beauvoir.
Trade Review"A leading French sociologist and maverick intellectual.... While his influence has long been felt in academic circles in France and the United States, Mr. Bourdieu assumed a public role in the tradition of Emile Zola and Jean-Paul Sartre in the last decade, when he became what Le Monde called 'the intellectual reference' for movements opposed to free market orthodoxy and globalization." - New York Times"
