Published: Oct. 30, 2019, noon

What can we learn from Pierre Bourdieu\u2019s critique of Marxism? Why did the influential French sociologist reject Marx\u2019s emphasis on labor and class struggle? Michael Burawoy lays out Bourdieu\u2019s famous troika of interrelated concepts: habitus, field, and capital. He also points out some of the key differences between how Bourdieu and Marx thought about politics, culture, and domination.\nMichael Burawoy, Symbolic Violence: Conversations with Bourdieu Duke University Press, 2019\n\xa0\n\xa0\nThe post Bourdieu and Marx appeared first on KPFA.
