New book today- thank you Maria Mastronardi- How can I not be excited with an endorsement like this? "Bourdieuian sociology . . . produces a real uprooting of the self; [it’s] brutal. All the beliefs that prior oriented one’s very functioning, on which one constructs her life, her future, her way of life, briskly collapse. The veil is torn, yes… [I]t completely changed my outlook on the global function of society, on its hierarchies, the use of languages . . . It really had a liberating effect, to the extent that knowing things, understanding how domination functions, simply to understand why one has ever felt socially inferior; [t]his clarified, elucidated the social foundations of the very struggle to be, of the malaise that, until then, was experienced in darkness, and in suffering. From the moment one can explain things socially, in one fell swoop, it’s a wholesome breath of freedom!" - Annie Ernaux amazon/Bourdieu-Religion-Key-Thinkers-Study/dp/1845532864
