      abstract = {This book revisits the modern history of Poland, from the  perspective of its social sciences. The book makes this  case study a model for the application of Bourdieus  approach to the historical analysis of non-core Western  societies. The book is, in other words, a reflexive study  of the application of Bourdieus social theory. At the same  time, it also critically studies the application of Western  social theory in Poland, which is largely seen as a  peripheral country. The study of Polish social sciences,  with particular emphasis on linguistics and literary  studies, points to the peculiar dynamics of peripheral  intellectual and academic fields and their external  dependencies. These insights offer a critical extension of  Bourdieus theory of state and social elites beyond the  Western core focusing on how the theories can be used in  the reinterpretation and expansion of post-colonial theory,  global history and comparative studies of post-communism.  The book will be suitable for scholars and students of all  those interested in the social theory of Pierre Bourdieu,  global historical sociology, societies in Central and  Eastern, socio-linguistics, literary studies and political  sociology.},
