Book Synopsis
Power is the central organizing principle of all social life, from culture and education to stratification and taste. In this title, the author delves deeply into Bourdieu's work to show how central - but often overlooked - power and politics are to an understanding of sociology.

Trade Review
"Symbolic Power, Politics, and Intellectuals represents a major step forward in the ongoing task of coming to terms with the legacy of Pierre Bourdieu. David L. Swartz makes a compelling case that Bourdieu has much to offer both the field of political sociology and the study of power." (Thomas Medvetz, author of Think Tanks in America)"
