Summary: Great introduction or supplement to Bourdieu's theory
Comment: I wish I had known about this book while fighting my way through "Outline of a Theory of Practice". Bourdieu is a compelling social scientist and his ideas only look better after seeing them dissected and explained in this collection of interviews and speeches. Like "Power/Knowledge", a collection of interviews, speeches, and other works by Foucault, this work gives readers a "second chance" to enter an important body of theoretical work. Of course some chapters are more compelling than others, but the good ones are very good indeed, and I found soemthing useful in just about every one. If I had to pick an unforgettable passage in this book, it would be where Bourdieu explained why he writes in such a difficult way--it is on purpose! In sum: this book makes a terribly important but often difficult body of scholarship more accessible.

Summary: Understand the thinking of anti globalization fighters
Comment: It is not that you understand all the conclusions. It is not that you share the same point of view. Pierre Bourdieu, who did this January 2002, is the philosophical leader of the people, who do not accept everything as served by the media. Read the recent works of Bourdieu also, and you understand the unrest some people have with today's power sharing in society.
A MUST-READ book to understand "modern" people.
