Revealing a world of privilege where \"there is no such thing as luck,\" the play features a beheaded knight, a talking record player, and a boisterous chorus of professors depicted as a flock of squawking birds. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Based on sociologists Pierre Bourdieu and Jean-Claude Passeron's \u003ci\u003eThe Inheritors: French Students and Their Relations to Culture\u003c\/i\u003e, the play was collectively created by Th??tre de l'Aquarium, a company then composed entirely of students. It proved a powerful success when it premiered in May 1968 amid student and worker protests in Paris, and it continues to speak forcefully to education inequity on campuses across anglophone countries today. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Curbstone Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810147829\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.06w x 0.30d","brand":"Kate Bredeson, Th??tre de l'Aquarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44848944578741,"sku":"9780810147829","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_3a4ccc64-f147-4051-8bae-660b3b0fc8dd.jpg?v=1732634363","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-inheritor-a-play-9780810147829","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
