An Invitation to Reflexive Sociology

A rare opportunity to experience a great mind in action outside the usual conventions of academic self-presentation.
Paul DiMaggio, Princeton University
The leading French sociologist of our generation, already well known through his researches and theoretical formulations, he appears here in the first person, in dialogue and in seminar, and in the magnifying glass of Loic Wacquant. One hopes the appeal of this self-presentation does not eclipse Bourdieu s other major works, for An Invitation to Reflexive Sociology promises to be Bourdieu s most widely-read book.
Randall Collins, University of California, Riverside
