"Sketch for a Self-Analysis" is the ultimate outcome of Pierre Bourdieu's lifelong preoccupation with reflexivity. Vehemently not an autobiography, this unique book is instead an application of Bourdieu's theories to his own life and intellectual trajectory; along the way it offers compelling and intimate insights into the most important French intellectuals of the time - including Foucault, Sartre, Aron, Althusser, and de Beauvoir - as well as Bourdieu's own formative experiences at boarding school and his moral outrage at the colonial war in Algeria.

"A leading French sociologist and maverick intellectual.... While his influence has long been felt in academic circles in France and the United States, Mr. Bourdieu assumed a public role in the tradition of Emile Zola and Jean-Paul Sartre in the last decade, when he became what Le Monde called 'the intellectual reference' for movements opposed to free market orthodoxy and globalization." - New York Times"
