Review Quotes:
'...boasts an impressive gathering of celebrated (UK, US and French) names, explicitly juxtaposes their clashing claims on Bourdieu's long-term legacy and thus...neatly encapsulates the current scrimmage in sociology.'-Will Atkinson, University of Bristol in Sociology, vol 46 no 1
'This collection of essays, which illustrates a wide range of opinion concerning Bourdieu's work, is very interesting... Their book shows very concretely and convincingly that a more international and a more strictly scientific discussion is now possible.'- Julien Duval, Centre européen de sociologie et de science politique
