Peter, You can read about Bourdieus' concept of habitus in just about
anything he has written. There are two books that I might recommend which
are actually written to help clear up his ideas. One is by Wacquant, oh,
oh,...I just forgot the title. . . and the title of the OTHER is "Pierre
Bourdieu", but I can't remember the author of that one. I have them at home,
and if you wish to e-mail me personally, I will write back when I get home.
I am not finished with the "Pierre Bourdieu", but so far I have enjoyed it
more than Wacquant. Let me know if you want more info.
