Very good book. Theoretically and empirically is great. It presents a clear way of intersecting race and class, and applies it to the global and elite higher education. By @kalwantbhopal.bsky.social & @martinmyers.bsky.social

Great interview and the book looks very interesting: 'Bourdieu and Sayad against empire. Forging sociology in anticolonial struggle'
