Book Description
No judgement of taste is innocent. In a word, we are all snobs. Pierre Bourdieu brilliantly illuminates this situation of the middle class in the modern world. France's leading sociologist focusses here on the French bourgeoisie, its tastes and preferences. Distinction is at once a vast ethnography of contemporary France and a dissection of the bourgeois mind.
In the course of everyday life people constantly choose between what they find aesthetically pleasing and what they consider tacky, merely trendy, or ugly. Bourdicu bases his study on surveys that took into account the multitude of social factors that play a part in a Frenchperson's choice of clothing, furniture, leisure activities, dinner menus for guests, and many other matters of taste. What emerges from his analysis is that social snobbery is everywhere in the bourgeois world. The different aesthetic choices people make are all distinctions-that is, choices made in opposition to those made by other classes. Taste is not pure. Bourdieu finds a world of social meaning in the decision to order bouillabaisse, in our contemporary cult of thinness, in the "California sports" such as jogging and cross-country skiing. The social world, he argues, functions simultaneously as a system of power relations and as a symbolic system in which minute distinctions of taste become the basis for social judgement.
The topic of Bourdieu's book is a fascinating one: the strategies of social pretension are always curiously engaging. But the book is more than fascinating. It is a major contribution to current debates on the theory of culture and a challenge to the major theoretical schools in contemporary sociology.

Bourdieu.......2007-02-18
I think that if you are interested in this book, then you probably know what you are in for. It's hard going (of course) but worth the effort.
A Must Read!.......2004-04-03
This is a fantastic explication of how social class prearranges our tastes and interests. I disagree with the reader who thinks that it is not applicable to American society--to the contrary. It is true that American culture is not so obviously stratified in the exact same ways as French culture (of the 1960s, I would add, when Bourdieu collected his data). Also, in American culture there is less of a tendency to exploit the social markers (dress, etc.) that one might find in Europe, and it's hip nowadays for the middle-class to adopt the style and dress of the street (e.g., hip-hop); nevertheless, I'd say that this is a veneer of street-cred, and that if you were to look at how the middle-class actually lives compares to those where hip-hop originated, you'd find some pretty significant differences.
However, his basic differentiation between working class/petit bourgeois (small business owners, clerical workers and the like)/grand bourgeois (professionals, executives, and large industrialists) certainly carries over into American society. And most interesting is his claim that the higher up in the food chain one goes, the more one's taste in the "aesthetic" inclines towards Kant's idea of disinterested formalism, while the lower classes tend to want their art to be informed by ethics and morality.
Bourdieu sees these tendencies as "embodied" and largely unconsciously adopted through our upbringing. One only has to watch a television show like "The O.C." and how they cast Ryan's mother in comparison to the trophy wives of Orange County to see that even in America class and taste and body language are still encoded in our body language, choice of dress, manners, and conversational style. The economic reality of America is that a Wal-Mart worker or transcontinental trucker is NOT middle-class in the same way as a doctor, whether in terms of taste or salary. Anyone who thinks so is either deluding themselves or doesn't want to see the truth.
Bourdieu does not neglect to mention sex (although he doesn't have as much to say about race), and has sections on women's body image (the richer, the thinner) and how the different classes deal with food (high-fat, high-carb for lower classes, fresh veggies and lean meats for higher classes). In America, our current epidemic of obesity is not only the result of marketing campaigns, but also (perhaps largely) the result of poor quality food (e.g. fast food, prepared food) being made much more affordable than high quality food (fresh produce, fish, organic). If you can't afford to eat well in America, you probably won't.
Moreover, Bourdieu makes the observation, which holds true in America as much as anywhere else, that formal education (which reinforces "legitimate" taste) can change one's tastes and values, but that one's early social upbringing will lead to a quicker assimilation of "legitimate" culture. As someone who went to bourgeois schools without a bourgeois background, and who has subsequently taught at state universities in poor areas, this truism is so obvious as to hardly need explication. Much of the poor performance of underclass or non-bourgeois students is as much due to lack of early acculturation (by this I mean exposure to "culture" like non-Hollywood films, art museums, etc., but also the habits and customs associated with school learning and higher education) as it is to any basic intelligence.
Finally, it's true that Bourdieu's style is rather ponderous, repetitive, and academic, and the book is very long indeed. Nevertheless, I can't agree that it compares with the difficulty of Derrida, Jameson, Bhabha, or other high theorists. Bourdieu's sentences are sometimes long and have many subordinate clauses, but their basic subjects and verbs are easily identifiable! The Conclusion and Postscript do raise the level of difficulty, but the Introduction and body of the main text are accessible and basically say everything he has to say (many times). Anyone with a basic undergraduate education (one that has done its job properly) should be able to handle Bourdieu's style in this particular book.
read it for the diagrams.......2000-10-29
Distinction is the most cited book from Bourdieu, one of France's most prolific scholars. The book tends to assume that its readers are familiar with his key terms, developed mostly in _Outline of a Theory of Practice_ and _Logic of Practice_. Although it is the most cited, beginning readers of Bourdieu should probably start with _Partical Reason_ to get a handle on these concepts before getting involved in this larger tome.
Word for word, Bourdieu's writing style is not economical, and he is almost as cumbersome as Derrida. He does not approach the overly-complex mode of Deleuze and Guattari. His concepts bear the most resemblance to those of an early Baudrillard or a late Gramsci in terms of their interpretation of the social world, although he will depart into some more Marxist modes of interpretation.
Bourdieu's _Distinction_ is most valuable for his diagrams, as they provide a clear graphic representation of what he is trying to say. If one wants the read Bourdieu for content and/or argument, she would be better directed to one of his other books named above, as his arguments are more on-point and rpecide.
In addition, _Distinction_ is careful to limit itself to a data set collected in the late 60s and early 70s. Although the theory seems to be a sound one, Bourdieu makes claims of greater applicability in his books about the Bayle: _Outline_ and _Logic_. For discussions of modern Europe, his newer _Weight of the World_ provides a better, and more recent, analysis of the same social trends as in _Distinction_.
A brilliant look at the social implications of taste.......2000-09-12
I come back to this book time and again in my own work and see it as one of the most indispensible books today on issues of aesthetics, class distinctions, group identity, and covert social inequality. Bourdieu takes on the Kantian aesthetics of the "subjective universal," showing that the value judgments about things reflect material and social conditions and in fact index social and class differences. The way we classify things (operas, desserts, leisure activities) is inextricably tied up with the way we classify ourselves as social beings and others as members of other social groups.
Distinction is a long and difficult book, but from start to finish it is full of fascinating and original insights. Bourdieu's language is loaded with big words and long sentences, but I find that after I get used to the kinds of words and structures he uses, his language actually becomes pretty clear and straight-forward. It's definitely worth the time and brain-power needed to read it.
Good French ethnography from brilliant intellect.......2000-09-12
Pierre Bourdieu is a tremendous intellect, and has produced far superior work to this book. _Distinction_ is a fascinating book, particularly for those interested in French society. Yet its relevance cannot really extend to America, which has a markedly different system of class. The French have deeply entrenched class consciousness, in both a pragmatic sense and a Marxist sense, whereas 90% of Americans consider themselves "middle class." Bourdieu shows that the French are at pains to symbolically express their class differences, and he does so with aplomb. He compiles statistics and data which show ways in which the French produce their own class position through consumption, education, and taste. But his observations are less applicable to the vast American "middle class." Class mobility, education, and stylistic expression are much more democratically distributed in America. So while many French are content with their class position, vocation, and traditions, most Americans see themselves as "middle class," striving for better, and free from tradition. _Distinction_ is an interesting and accesible book, but those looking for Bourdieu's contributions to social theory will be better served by some of his other works.

Customer Reviews:
Unrealistic.......2007-09-29
I ordered this book because, having graduated college and tired of Ramen, I needed to know how to cut, mix and heat real food. The produce and ingredient recommendations are not for the novice cooker. It's easier to eat fat food than to eat healthy, so unless you're serious about making a change in the way you shop, frequency in shopping, and flavors you're accustomed to, get your recipes from your mom and the internet.
BBB - Boring, Basic & for Beginners.......2007-08-23
Considering that the title itself implies the simplicity of the recipes, I feel a little bad about complaining about the quality of this book, but hey, I will anyway.
If you are a beginning cook and have never made tuna salad and/or have thought to add something other than mayonnaise to it, if you have never made a meatloaf (low fat?) or boiled a noodle, then this would be a good book for you, otherwise, the boringness of the majority of the recipes will make for a very dusty book on your shelf.
The sample recipes featured on the Amazon "Look Inside" function seemed interesting but have turned out to be the rare exception that stand out from the dull, simplistic everyday recipes that any good cook could throw together without thinking.
The crappiness and lack of inspiration in this book would make even Rachel Ray laugh out loud.
one of the best "cooking for 1" cook books out there.......2007-08-05
as a single person who hates leftovers and freezer burn, I am always looking for recipes that will make just enough for dinner. I have bought 6 or 7 cookbooks that serve 1. this cookbook is one that I actually use. It has a variety of recipes and is easy to follow. These are recipes that you can make after a stressful day at work and know that you will have good food with a minimal about of fuss.
The book that got me to write a review!.......2007-07-02
I've never reviewed anything before, but after finishing my delicious Orange-Glazed Pork Chops & Sweet Potatoes, I couldn't resist anymore. These recipes are healthy, delicious, and easy to make. The small portions mean that I can try something, enjoy it, and not have leftovers going bad. I haven't run into a bad recipe yet. Check it out!
Great for anyone!.......2007-05-02
As a senior in college, I wanted to learn more about cooking but usually fell back on eating meals that were frozen or standard because any other cookbooks were geared towards 4+ diners, and I don't have the fridge space to save tons of leftovers. Additionally, my fiance and I have been interested in eating healthier for some time, but we were both novice cooks who felt uncomfortable in the kitchen. I received this cookbook for Christmas from my mother and have been continually grateful since!
Though there are no pictures (I like visuals!), I can easily follow her recipes. There are some that look a little ambitious, and I plan to work up to that when I feel more comfortable with my kitchen; in the meantime, there are more than enough quick, easy meals that I can feel GOOD eating (hey, "healthy" is in the title!). For someone like me who loves to try new tastes, she includes a wonderful variety of dishes from good-old Southern home cooking to chic European eating.
She also includes the nutritional values for every serving, which I think is an excellent feature. As many reviewers have mentioned, she divides the recipe into columns, so you can decide to cook for 1, 2, or 4. I thought, "This is cooking healthy, the portion sizes will probably be tiny." Quite the contrary! I like to eat (as does my guy), yet we ALWAYS have leftovers when we make a recipe for 2. This book will be the staple cookbook in my kitchen!
Customer Reviews:
A fun treatise on the finer things in life!.......2007-01-30
In his undying wit, Mayle shares with us some of his field research on the finer things in life. Although really geared toward the gentleman reader, it is enjoyable for women to read as well. You'll learn some interesting facts on caviar, truffles, cashmere, and cigars as well as pick up on the potential pitfalls of overindulgence and gluttony. A quick and enjoyable read for anyone who is curious about the life of luxury!
Not Mayle's best.......2005-10-17
Leaving his haunts in the South of France, Peter explores the tastes of the rich and famous. Custom shoes, shirts, suits, second homes, stretch limos and all. A good read but not his best!
Hedonism at high level.......2004-03-26
I used to think as a big disadvantage to live in a small and poor country as Chile. However, Mr. Mayle's book demonstrated me that living in a "third world country" has some advantages. First of all, if you can afford some of the pleasures described on this book, meaning you're lucky enough to be within the 5 or 3 per cent of chilean population, maybe you're not a tycoon, but al least you're quite wealthy. That takes us to the second point... few riches enjoying pleasures means everyone else want to be like you, have the things you have, admire you and that makes you exclusive. In Chile if you earn 1.000 US$ a month you're middle class... imagine what happens when you make that 5.000 or 10.000 US$!!! Third point is vernacular. You can buy vineyards for a decent price (in many cases you have acquired it by inheritance), have 5 or 6 servants for 1.200 US$ a month, buy a very nice vacation home for 150.000 US$ and have a drink on a limo for 100 US$ the whole day. Caviar, cigars and truffles have the same high price worldwide, althought they are scarce and difficult to find in every corner grocery shop.
i want to move to france!.......2003-08-21
all of peter mayles books are great - and this is no exception!
Fun, even if you can't afford to do the things described!.......2003-04-28
The first time I saw this book, I was at the local library and the title caught my eye. When I saw that Peter Mayle was the author, I expected that I would enjoy it. I was not disappointed.
Whether you are rich, know people who are, or just enjoy imagining what you'd do with great wealth, this book offers an array of amusing possibilities. Mr. Mayle's best attribute as a writer is his ability to be witty without sacrificing erudition, and this book delivers on both counts.
My favorite chapter, without question, is the one about buying a vacation home; first because I know a few people who own second homes, and second because it's probably the only thing mentioned in the book that I'll ever be able to afford. Mr. Mayle offers an intriguing suggestion of how to savor the pleasures of a second home without any of the potential pitfalls. I haven't yet decided if I'll buy a vacation house or choose the Mayle method, but in the meantime, this book has been a great gift for friends and relatives who have taken the plunge.
In short, the best reason to buy this book is that it's fun.

Book Description
Every Life
Makes a Story
Djo has a story: Once he was one of "Titid's boys," a vital member of Father Jean-Bertrand Aristide's election team, fighting to overthrow military dictatorship in Haiti. Now he is barely alive, the victim of a political firebombing.
Jeremie has a story: Convent-educated Jeremie can climb out of the slums of Port-au-Prince. But she is torn between her mother's hopes and her own wishes for herself ... and for Haiti.
Father Jean-Bertrand Aristide has a story: A dream of a new Haiti, one in which every person would have a decent life ... a house with a roof ... clean water to drink ... a good plate of rice and beans every day ... a field to work in.
At Aristide's request, Djo tells his story to Jeremie -- for Titid believes in the power of all of their stories to make change. As Jeremie listens to Djo, and to her own heart, she knows that they will begin a new story, one that is all their own, together.

Wonderful glimpse of Haiti.......2006-08-16
Although this book was written for young adult/teenagers it is really beautifully written and suitable for any age. The stories portray a very accurate view of the lives young people lead in Haiti. Very well done.
The sad story of Haiti continues.......2003-09-09
I'm reading this book because it is on The Battle of the Books list in Scottsdale AZ. Students read books and answer questions in a "Jeopardy" type contest, and I always read along with my grandchildren. I am very happy that this book is on the list for 7-8 graders. A Taste of Salt refers to the key to releasing zombies, and in this book reading is the taste of salt for the lost boys of Port-au-Prince, as they are rescued by Father Aristede. Djo, a leader of the boys, lays dying in the hospital as his story is recorded by Jeremie, a convent-raised young woman sent by Aristede. Djo was kidnapped by government troops to work in the sugar cane fields of the Dominican Republic (I'll always think of Djo and the cane cutters when I buy sugar) and his years there are terrible. I looked on Human Rights Watch website and found that there are 500,000 Haitians still working in the cane fields in deplorable conditions. "Father" Titid is now married, president of Haiti, and perpetuating the same dreadful oppression upon the people which he formerly preached against. A revolution gone wrong, as they often do, but an important and touching story of the strength of young people.
Must Read.......2002-04-03
Taste of Salt, by Frances Temple is the best book I have read yet. This book teaches you how life is special. The book has emotion, love, happiness, loneliness, and a lot more real feelings people have. The best part is the writer is very graphic in her writing, you almost feel like you were there. The whole book is interesting, you never get tired of reading it. I think Taste of Salt can touch many people in different ways.
A tale of Haiti.......2002-01-11
Taste of Salt, written by Frances Temple, is a provocative, exciting tale of the life of a young Haitian man, Djo, and the struggle against a dictatorship that hired Macoutes, thugs, to keep itself in power. Djo grew up on the streets with his brother before Father Aristide, known to them as Titid, adopted them. Djo was injured by Macoutes who firebombed him. Now he lies in a hospital bed telling his story to a student of a nun school named Jeremie. She listens.
There are several reasons to read this book, but the two greatest are its complex setting and the intricate writing style. The setting is elaborate as the book takes place in 1991in the city of Port-Au-Prince, when people were trying to attain a democracy and end the dictatorship of Jean-Claude Duvalier who named himself president for life and hired Macoutes. The writing style is unique as it has many flashbacks and the story is half from Djo's view and half from Jeremie's view. The flashbacks are interesting as they tell how the characters came to their current state and telling what they did until then. Also the different characters views have are written slightly different with slightly different writing styles that reflect the different characters speech styles.
This book is quite good but some may find fault with the fact that it uses some Creole words that can be quite confusing and force you to look back to the glossary disrupting. Though at first it may appear a negative fact, by the end it becomes interesting and you feel you have learned a little of their culture. However, even if one finds the Creole to be disrupting they will still enjoy the overall quality of this book.
Great for classroom use!.......2000-07-01
I recently read this book in order to find fresh literature to present in the classroom. I can't wait to read this with my 7th-grade English students. Because of its structure, Taste of Salt lends itself to many creative teaching strategies. The values and themes are very relevant to our students today. Read it and you will see!

Robin Leach, "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous"
A million miles of world travel is enough to make anyone blase. Yet the south of France always manages to surprise and thrill me on each visit. Reason? Pedigree meets pizzaz at an unbeatable location boasting sun, sand, and pure gallic elan!
Yet so few visitors stray beyond the coastal communities. I confess that I too might never have looked beyond the beachfront cafes and grand hotels, had "Lifestyles" television cameras not drawn me off the tourist path.
Ah... but what an eye-opener it was! Within just 50 miles of my favorite restaurant in Nice, a whole different world offers such dizzying distractions, from alpine ski hideaways to bracing nature trails.
A Taste of Cote D'Azur is a title that belies its true content. Richard Hagglof presents everything you'll ever need to know about the French Riviera - and then some.
For me, it's as important to locate a truly authentic seafood restaurant where dock workers enjoy bouillabaisse and a crisp local white, as to know where to charter a yacht! This book does both, and also tells you where to find the best snorkeling, hang-gliding, golf and tennis.
It points you towards the action, and even warns about hotels located in areas that are so hot'n'happening that you won't sleep a wink because of the noise! The book then offers a peaceful escape to the unsung hinterlands when a change of pace is required.
I wholehartedly recommend
A Taste of Cote d'Azur to anyone who wants to get the best from a vacation in a magical playground, a sunsplashed paradise with a reputation that's only daunting until you get to know it.

Book Description
The exclusive French periodical Gazette du Bon Ton was published in Paris to showcase the latest haute couture women's fashion. A selection of the original pochoir print illustrations made for this magazine between 1920 and 1922 are presented in this book. Fashion designers Charles Worth, Paul Poiret, and Madeleine Vionette are among the provocative creators of new 1920s clothing styles whose work is represented here. They revolutionized women's fashions by breaking with tradition to create an entirely new silhouette with short skirts, geometric patterns, new color combinations, and new fabric choices. The illustrations are done in the pochoir process with many stencils and subtle color tones to accurately duplicate delicate drawings by some of the leading French artists of the day. George Barbier, Pierre Brissaud, and Georges Lepape each made many of the drawings in this book Today's fashion designers, collectors, sellers, and artists all will pour over these pages for inspiration.

Just bought it. Absolutely beautiful illustrations! The cover is ugly but there are only a couple done in that style. The rest are sensual, colerful, lush and fun. Inspiring especially if you like this era of clothes. LOTS of pics. One of my favorite fashion books.
