Motivated by an impulse that, as he himself says, ‘was civic rather than political’, nothing seemed more important to him than to understand the Algerian situation and provide the elements that would enable others to come to an informed judgement about it. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In extremely tough conditions and along with a small group of students, Bourdieu undertook a series of studies across an Algeria that was tightly patrolled by the army, leading him to discover the shocking reality of the resettlement camps and to analyse the mechanisms of destruction of Algerian society of which they were emblematic. To achieve the objectives he had set himself, Bourdieu had to carry out a genuine intellectual conversion, acquiring an ethnographic understanding of Algerian society, learning sociological analysis at a breakneck pace and inventing new instruments - both theoretical and empirical - that would enable him to understand the relations of domination specific to colonialism. These new tools also enabled him to analyse the nature of the crisis that the war had both produced and manifested. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This unique volume brings together the first texts written by Bourdieu in the midst of the Algerian conflict, as well as later writings and interviews in which he returns to the topic of Algeria and the decisive role it played in the development of his work.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePresentation\u003cbr\u003e Bourdieu and Algeria, Bourdieu in Algeria\u003cbr\u003e At the Origins of a Singular Ethnosociology\u003cbr\u003e Colonization, Culture and Society\u003cbr\u003e The Clash of Civilizations\u003cbr\u003e Traditional Society’s Attitude towards Time and Economic Behaviour\u003cbr\u003e The Internal Logic of Original Algerian Society\u003cbr\u003e War and Social Mutations\u003cbr\u003e From Revolutionary War to Revolution\u003cbr\u003e Revolution in the Revolution\u003cbr\u003e War and Social Mutation in Algeria\u003cbr\u003e Workers and Peasants in Disarray\u003cbr\u003e Uprooted Peasants: Morphological Upheavals and Cultural Changes in Algeria\u003cbr\u003e The Algerian Sub-Proletarians\u003cbr\u003e Haunted by Unemployment: The Algerian Proletariat and the Colonial System\u003cbr\u003e The Making of Economic Habitus\u003cbr\u003e The Ethnology of Kabylia\u003cbr\u003e The Right Use of Ethnology\u003cbr\u003e Dialogue on Oral Poetry in Kabylia\u003cbr\u003e A Reflexive Definition of Anthropology\u003cbr\u003e Participant Objectivation\u003cbr\u003e Return to the Algerian Experience\u003cbr\u003e For a Sociology of Sociologists\u003cbr\u003e Between Friends\u003cbr\u003e For Abdelmalek Sayad\u003cbr\u003e Seeing with the Lens: About Photography\u003cbr\u003e Appendices\u003cbr\u003e Letters to André Nouschi\u003cbr\u003e Chronology of Historical Events\u003cbr\u003e Map of Investigation Sites\u003cbr\u003e Publications of Pierre Bourdieu on Algeria\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Sociology%20\u0026amp;%20anthropology%20%5BJH%5D%22\"\u003eJH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407316119832,"sku":"9780745646947","price":46.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745646947.jpg?v=1784161163","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/algerian-sketches-hardback-9780745646947","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
