Reading Bourdieu on Society and Culture Summary

Reading Bourdieu on Society and Culture by Bridget Fowler

As Bourdieu's reputation mounts, this collection seeks to evaluate his contribution. It is the first critical work to analyse his entire studies of the cultural field, the first to consider his revised theory of practice and the first to test his concepts in key new areas of socio- cultural research.
