"At last, this important book is available in translationIt is an essential component of Bourdieu's œuvre, and of his contribution to our knowledge and understanding of the social basis of High Culture. It also provides theorists of the arts with that rare but necessary critical tool: factual information about the world of the museum." Janet Wolff

"This is vintage Bourdieu, showing how class generates culture, which in turn reinforces class." Museum Anthropology

Pierre Bourdieu was Professor of Sociology at the Collège de France.
