Bourdieu's Secret Admirer in the Caucasus: A World-System Biography Tapa dura - 2005

de Georgi M. Derluguian


Descripción de contraportada

Bourdieu's Secret Admirer in the Caucasus is a gripping account of the developmental dynamics involved in the rise and collapse of Soviet socialism. Fusing a narrative of human agency to his critical discussion of structural forces, Georgi M. Derluguian reconstructs from firsthand accounts the life story of Musa Shanib-who from a small town in the Caucasus grew to be an intellectual reformer and, after 1989, a leader in several revolutions and wars, from Abkhazia to Chechnya. In his examination of the irony of Shanib's fascination with the sociology of Pierre Bourdieu, Derluguian discerns the personal trajectory of this reformer from democratic dissident to nationalist warlord.

Shanib's story allows Derluguian to add human dimension to his analysis of abstract notions like globalization, the end of communism, democratization, politics of ethnic identity, and terrorism. Drawing simultaneously on the work of Charles Tilly, Immanuel Wallerstein, and, of course, Bourdieu, Derluguian presents a far-reaching explanation of ethnic wars in the wake of Soviet collapse. Bourdieu's Secret Admirer in the Caucasus illuminates the role of human agency in shaping world history as well as the current dilemmas posed by globalization and the war on terror.
