Pierre Bourdieu, one of the most influential critical social
theorists of the second half of the twentieth century, once
described sociology as "a combat sport." This comprehensive
collection of his writings on politics and social science, from
early 1960s articles on the Algerian War of Independence to the
last text he published before his death, proves that this vision
was enduring throughout his life-as well as a serious scholar
Bourdieu was always an outspoken public intellectual. Political
Interventions includes many texts hitherto unavailable in English
and, placing them in their historical context, reconstructs
Bourdieu's vision of academic study and political activism as two
sides of the same process: the decoding and critique of social
reality in order to transform it.
