This short critical introduction to Pierre Bourdieu's thought is a
model of clarity and insight. Where Bourdieu's own writings are
often complex, even ambiguous, Richard Jenkins is direct, concise
and to the point. He emphasizes Bourdieu's contributions to theory
and methodology while also dealing in detail with his substantive
studies of education, social stratification and culture. His book
provides the best short English-language introduction to Bourdieu's
work. 'As Jenkins points out in the final pages of his book,
criticism can be the sincerest form of flattery. I particularly
relished his critical approach to the work of Bourdieu and believe
that he has written a timely introduction which both undergraduates
and experienced teachers will find stimulating and enjoyable.'-
