<p>‘The individual contributions to this volume, it should be clear, have much to offer. On balance, this is a valuable contribution towards the critical appreciation of perhaps the most important sociologist of the past half century.’ —Mathieu Desan, ‘Thesis Eleven’ </p>

These critical essays bring together prominent scholars in the social sciences to consider the diverse nature of the legacy of Pierre Bourdieu in contemporary social theory. In offering a range of perspectives on the continuing relevance of Bourdieu’s sociology, the essays of this volume examine Bourdieu’s relationship to both classical and contemporary social theory. This collection constructs an intellectual bridge between French-speaking and English-speaking accounts of Bourdieu’s work.
