Through in-depth conversations held in Johannesburg in 2000, we gain a firsthand glimpse into the mind of one of the most influential intellectuals of our time.
A Unique Perspective on Social Inequality
Bourdieu, a sociologist and anthropologist, dedicated his life to understanding and challenging social inequality. His groundbreaking theories on social structure, cultural capital, and the reproduction of elites have revolutionized our understanding of the modern world.
