"[The author's] insights into Bourdieu's project are intriguing and original, comprising, in some respects, the makings of an 'anthropological biography' of this influential figure... the work is a welcome addition to the literature on rural Europe, and France in particular, and demonstrates the ongoing potential of European ethnography for illuminating anthropology's "unconscious" dispositions and Western intellectual mannerisms. It will be of interest to historians and sociologists, no doubt, as well as anthropologists." ? Anthropos"Jenkins's work articulates a rich theoretical framework that informs the study of regional identity and the place and motivations of rural actors in provincial modernization. It is intriguing to consider how this approach might be applied to other distinctive regions of France. Finally, this project's ethnographic focus on families in late twentieth-century Bearn places it at the forefront of a growing number of historical studies of France in that period. As these works are increasingly interdisciplinary in nature, [this volume] offers a clear model that scholars can appreciate." ? H France Review
"Among other interesting insights, Jenkins uncovers the origin of Bourdieu's [who grew up in Bearn] conception of habitus, and the basis for his passive vision of peasant agency as the realization of age-old routines." ? JRAI
"One peculiar genius of this book lies in the agile demonstration that Bourdieu's failure to live up to his own theoretical principles instantiates a recognizably Bearnais problem-the conviction of imminent dissolution...[a] dense, complex, and richly rewarding historical anthropology." ? Michael Herzfeld in The Journal of Interdisciplinary History

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
