Le livre de Raphaël Desanti se présente comme un récit de vie jalonné d'expériences marquantes et ordonné en séquences chronologiques qui l'ont conduit du Lycée d'Enseignement Professionnel (LEP) à l'usine, de l'autodidaxie à l'université, d'emplois précaires au travail social, de la lecture acharnée de l'œuvre de Pierre Bourdieu à l'animation de la "liste Champs" qui était consacrée au sociologue. Mais, c'est surtout une question souvent posée et restée sans réponse que soulève ce livre : quels sont les effets de la lecture sur le lecteur ? Dans le cas présent, quels sont les effets qu'a eus sur Desanti la lecture, a priori improbable, de Bourdieu ? "Pour moi, écrivait Bourdieu, la sociologie a joué le rôle d'une socio-analyse qui m'a aidé à comprendre et à supporter des choses (à commencer par moi-même) que je trouvais insupportable auparavant". Elle permet, en effet, de déplacer les causes d'un malheur que tout incite à s'attribuer à soi-même vers des causes sociales occultées. La compréhension sociologique a permis à l'auteur de se dédouaner de la responsabilité personnelle de son échec scolaire initial. Elle l'a aidé aussi à faire face au "mal être" qu'engendrent les situations de déclassement. C'est de ce cheminement très personnel que ce livre rend compte.

This book explores how working-class writers in the 1960s and 1970s significantly reshaped British children’s literature through their representations of working-class life and culture. Aidan Chambers, Alan Garner and Robert Westall were examples of what Richard Hoggart termed ‘scholarship boys’: working-class individuals who were educated out of their class through grammar school education. This book highlights the role these writers played in changing the publishing and reviewing practices of the British children's literature industry while offering new readings of their novels featuring scholarship boys. As well as drawing on the work of Raymond Williams and Pierre Bourdieu, and referring to studies of scholarship boys in the fields of social science and education, this book explores personal interviews and archival materials. Yielding significant insights on British children’s literature of the period, this book will be of particular interest to scholars and students in the fields of children’s and working-class literature and of British popular culture.

According to relational sociology, power imbalances are at the root of human conflicts and consequently shape the physical and symbolic struggles between interdependent groups or individuals. This volume highlights the role of power relations in the African American experience by applying key concepts of Pierre Bourdieu and Norbert Elias to black literature and culture. The authors offer new readings of power asymmetries as represented in works of canonical and contemporary black writers (Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison, Gwendolyn Brooks, Toni Morrison, Percival Everett, Colson Whitehead), rap music (e.g., Jay Z), images of black homelessness, and figurations of political activism (civil rights activist Bayard Rustin Besprochen in: Begegnungszentrum für aktive Gewaltlosigkeit, Rundbrief, 1 (2018)
