Description
Symbolic Violence: Conversations with Bourdieu
Michael Burawoy brings Pierre Bourdieu into a critical debate with Marxism, exploring the intellectual and biographical parallels and divergences between Bourdieu's work and that of prominent Marxist thinkers.
This book examines key areas of overlap and difference, including the appropriation of Beauvoir's theory of masculine domination, the commonalities and differences in Bourdieu's and Fanon's thought on colonialism and revolution, and the alignment of Gramsci's theory of hegemony with Bourdieu's notion of symbolic violence.
