Habitus is a concept developed by the late French sociologist,
Pierre Bourdieu, as a 'sense of one's place...a sense of the
other's place'. It relates to our perceptions of the positions (or
'place') of ourselves and other people in the world in which we
live and how these perceptions affect our actions and interactions
with places and people. Habitus implies that a web of complex
processes links the physical, the social and the mental. Inspired
by this concept, this compelling book brings together leading
scholars from interdisciplinary fields to examine ways in which
spaces and places are constructed, interpreted and used by
different people. This second edition contains updated chapter
material, together with an entirely new introduction and revised
conclusions which recognise the importance of Bourdieu's work. This
publication is a tribute to Pierre Bourdieu's remarkable
contribution to the fields of sociology, anthropology, geography,
political philosophy and urban planning.

The term digital divide is still used regularly to characterize the
injustice associated with inequalities in access to information and
communication technologies (ICTs). As the debate continues and
becomes more sophisticated, more and more aspects of the
distribution of ICTs are singled out as relevant to
characterizations of the digital divide and of its moral status.
The best way to articulate the digital divide is to relate it to
other aspects of social and distributive justice, using a mixture
of pre-existing theories within moral and political philosophy.
These theories are complemented with contributions from sociology,
communication studies, information systems, and a range of other
disciplines. ""Information Technology and Social Justice"" presents
conceptual frameworks for understanding and tackling digital
divides. It includes information on access and skills, access and
motivation, and other various levels of access. It also presents a
detailed analysis of the benefits and value of access to ICTs.
