Rezensionen

"At his best Pierre Bourdieu observes the world like an acerbicnovelist, and Photography is Bourdieu at his best - itsinsights into the popular use of the camera still offer thedelights of recognition and a valuable reminder that culturalstudies need the empirical and theoretical underpinnings providedby good, Durkheimian sociology." Simon Frith
"Interesting ... in its scope and insights." TheGuardian

"Pathbreaking [and] intriguing." Times Higher EducationSupplement
