Reviews of the first edition:
"This collection is highly admirable for its clarity and thoroughness, and should be of great interest to anthropologists and others who are new to, or familiar with, Bourdieu's oeuvre." Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute "The book manages that extraordinary feat of offering both accessible introductions to Bourdieus concepts that are 'good to think with whilst also offering a depth of analysis that will engage scholars already familiar with Bourdieus work. Whether a chapter says something new about familiar concepts like habitus, field, or capital, or it introduces less discussed concepts like conatus, the writing stretches the readers understanding of what sociological theory can be."
