About this book
Bourdieu and Historical Analysis explores the usefulness of Pierre Bourdieus thought for analyzing not only the reproduction of social structures but also large-scale sociohistorical change.

Reviews
"In Bourdieu and Historical Analysis, Philip S. Gorski and his fellow contributors reject both the functionalist and structuralist perspectives that would view Bourdieu strictly as a reproduction theorist. They demonstrate very convincingly that Bourdieu should be seen instead as a theorist of historical transformation. This volume makes a significant scholarly contribution."—Johan Heilbron, author of The Rise of Social Theory
"This uncommonly interesting set of essays will contribute to the growing appreciation, and the productive use, of the resources contained in Bourdieu's extraordinarily rich oeuvre for the theoretical analysis of historical transformations."—Rogers Brubaker, author of Ethnicity without Groups
“This edited collection is the first to place at center stage the contributions to the study of social transformation made by French sociologist, Pierre Bourdieu…. For sociologists, this volume expands the possibilities for doing more historical research using Bourdieu’s thought.”
-- Deborah Reed-Danahy H-France, H-Net Reviews
“[H]ighly scholarly and very useful….engaging…the final part on empirical applications of Bourdieusian themes was also fascinating, analyzing with great cogency classification struggles in the arenas of welfare and nationalism.”
-- Dennis Smith Sociological Review
“The collection is of remarkably consistent quality, and the book is a paradigm example of when essays deserve to be published together as a book. Each chapter gains greater significance when all are read together.”
-- Arthur Frank Canadian Journal of Sociology
"An enriching read for historians and sociologists preoccupied with understanding intellectual change vis-à-vis rapid social transformations and crises. It is hard to imagine anything more pertinent."
-- Marcus Hernando Political Studies Review
