Description
Pierre Bourdieu's ethnographic analysis of gender divisions in Kabyle society provides a powerful insight into the symbolic structures of androcentric unconsciousness. This form of subtle, pervasive violence is exercised through cognition, misrecognition, knowledge, and sentiment, often with the unwitting consent of those dominated. Bourdieu examines the invariant features of masculine domination and its role in dehistoricizing social institutions, such as family, school, church, and state. He argues that understanding this form of domination is crucial to neutralizing the mechanisms through which history becomes nature, thereby freeing forces of change and accelerating transformations in relations between the sexes. This book will be essential reading for students and scholars across the social sciences and humanities, offering a nuanced exploration of gender, sexuality, and power.
