Did anyone actually suggest we should not direct students to primary texts, to the actual Bourdieu works? I thought the issue was that some texts (and some parts of some texts) are more accessible than others. There must, after all, be a way in. For example, I wish I had come across the essay 'field of cultural production' sooner. I had tackled Distinction (from start to finish - the worst order), Inheritors (easy), Logic of Practice, and several others, only to find this essay which puts his main points simply and accessibly. I direct my students (sociology of culture) to this essay to start with.
