Loc Wacquant Afterword: Theory of Fields in the Postcolonial
Age Mathieu Hilgers and Eric Mangez;

Bourdieus theory of social fields is one of his key

contributions to social sciences and humanities. However,
it has never been subjected to genuine critical examination.
This book fills that gap and offers a clear and wide-ranging
introduction to the theory. It includes a critical discussion
of its methodology and relevance in different subject areas
in the social sciences and humanities.
