Reviews

[Dialyn Thelen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Complex, lots of different perspectives, a great introduction to Bourdieu! 👍

[Mike Mena · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good variety of topics (including 3 solid feminist chapters). Recommended for intermediate Bourdieu readers interested in grasping his theory of fields through short concrete examples.
