Description

Pierre Bourdieu: Key Concepts

This book provides an in-depth exploration of the key concepts developed by the French social philosopher Pierre Bourdieu. With a career spanning over fifty years, Bourdieu studied a wide range of topics, from education and culture to politics and economics. His "thinking tools" were used to uncover the workings of contemporary society, and this book highlights his most important concepts and examines them in detail.

Each chapter focuses on an individual concept, making it accessible to students with little or no prior knowledge of Bourdieu. The second edition of this leading text has been entirely revised and updated, featuring new essays on methodology, politics, and social space. This book is an ideal resource for those looking to understand Bourdieu's work and its relevance to contemporary society.
