Pierre Bourdieu's influence on intellectual life shows no sign of abating. Bourdieu was a prolific and respected scholar whose impact can be measured by the Social Science Citation Index and international surveys of academics. Many of his observations, opinions and insights are now embedded in the basic vocabulary of sociology and anthropology. Whether or not they agree with him, serious scholars are obliged to test themselves against his challenges. This book presents a sampling of the most recent and durable of the ongoing conversations, debates, and research orientations that Bourdieu launched.
