Summary: a unique contribution
Comment: "The Weight of the World" consists mainly of conversations with a wide variety of contemporary (mostly French) people--judges, gangsters, policemen, concierges. The various interviews, while covering quite disparate social worlds, manage to coalesce fairly well. This is excellent ethnography, and while many of the statements of these people might at first seem banal, taken as an aggregate, they support Bourdieu's theoretical framework quite well. On a more personal level, some of the interviews are quite funny and a few even made me cry. Bourdieu's works continue to challenge and demolish theories which neglect social reality. Very powerful, but I might suggest reading some of his more theoretical stuff first ("Pascalian Meditations" is very good)...
