Reviews

"n this fine study, Deborah Reed-Danahay invites us to revisit Bourdieu's oeuvre with an eye for often neglected aspects-his autoethnography, his treatment of emotions and personal narratives, the connections between his early work in the Bearn and in Algeria. Her analysis is refreshingly dispassionate and always thoughtful and well-informed." -Michele Lamont, Harvard University "This is an excellent introduction to the major themes that have made of Bourdieu an inescapable monument in late 20th-century social thought. Reed-Danahay makes an insightful contribution." -Herve Varenne, Teachers College, Columbia University
