Let me introduce this sociologist to you. He was Born in August 1th of 1930 and died in January 23 of 2003 in París, France. He was born in Denguin, France, which is a rural town of France and this is a particular characteristic of this sociologist. He was born in a rural middle-class family and he was what is know as "first generation intelectual", that means that he was the first member of his family to enter to the École Normale Supérieure (a place where the intelectual elite was formed).
The reasons why I admire Bourdieu is 'cause he build a social theory of great magnitude and change in somehow the story of social sciences. I like his social theory 'cause it rescues the influence of the structuralism and the phenomenology (two traditions on social sciences that are in somehow contradictory) and put the reflection of the power in the middle of his work. So, notions like symbolic violence, Field of Power, the social space undestood like a space of differences where the capitals (resources that give power) are distribuited on a unequality way are concepts that reconstruct the social theory puting on the center the notions of class and conflict.
Finally, I admire Pierre Bourdieu 'cause his politic action. He understood the cientific labor as a way to do politics and like a base to construct a political action against the powerful and the contemporary social order.
Here is a video of Bourdieu, is about the school and how this is a institution that reproduce the social classes and inequality.

I like your description of P. Bourdieu, but the definition of social classes is the most important of his theory, or not?
Symbolic violence is very dangerous. Besides education was always present in his works
