Building on three decades of comparative research on marginality,
ethnicity, and penality in the postindustrial metropolis, Loic
Wacquant offers a novel interpretation of Pierre Bourdieu as urban
theorist. He invites us to explore the city through what he calls
the trialectic of symbolic space (the mental categories through
which we perceive and organize the world), social space (the
distribution of capital in its different forms), and physical space
(the built environment). On this reading, Bourdieu's topological
sociology gives us the tools both to energize and also to challenge
the canon of urban studies and to redraw their theoretical
landscape. Compact and incisive, Bourdieu in the City will be of
interest to students and scholars in sociology, anthropology,
geography, urban studies, urban planning, architecture, and social
theory.
