Culture, Class, Distinction

About “Culture, Class, Distinction”

Culture, Class, Distinction examines the relationships between cultural practice and social divisions of class, gender, and ethnicity in contemporary Britain. Drawing on a national study, the book reviews Bourdieu’s classic work on culture and class in light of subsequent debates, offering a systematic assessment of cultural capital across music, film, television, literature, the arts, sport, cuisine, and bodily and self-maintenance practices.
