Book Synopsis
In 1988, the renowned sociologist Pierre Bourdieu and the leading historian Roger Chartier met for a series of lively discussions that were broadcast on French public radio.

Trade Review
“These dialogues have been compiled for the first time in English and are a welcome return to Bourdieu’s groundbreaking thinking… Bourdieu comes across as a lively and multidisciplinary scientist who, in questioning the architecture beneath actions, has genuinely introduced the possibility for freedom.”
