Drawing inspiration from Pierre Bourdieu’s social space theory, this
book provides an unprecedent overview of class relations, covering
topics such as class polarisation, cultural reproduction, political
orientations, and globalisation. The book applies Bourdieusian social
space approach to show how class boundaries have been maintained or
transformed in different European countries. Based on quantiative
data, it proposes a renewal of the analysis of distances, divides, and
relations of domination between social classes, documenting objective
and symbolic boundaries that form the basis of individuals’ living
and working conditions in 11 European countries. Focusing on
transformations of wealth inequalities, education strategies, and
European labour markets, the book examines the role of cultural,
economic and social capital. It will be of interest to students and
scholars across the social sciences, in particular to those studying
social and wealth inequalities in a comparative perspective and
Master's students in European studies.
