  2. Esse livro é uma demonstração clara das possibilidades de pesquisa na área denominada, no Brasil, como "sócio-cultural". Vários autores dos capítulos têm excelente fundamentação e envolvimento com as práticas das L/AM/MEC (algo que raramente vejo ocorrer, pq vejo muito leitor de resumo se achando intelectual e gente q nunca pisou no tatame achando q entende de L/AM/MEC). O trabalho do Wacquant com boxeadores é um clássico. Tb tive o privilégio de conversar com o Sánchez e com o Green e posso dizer q são pessoas fantásticas e das poucas q me fazem persistir nesse caminho de pesquisar as L/AM/MEC...
