"It is through the illusion of freedom from social determinants.. that social determinations win the freedom to exercise their full power... And so, paradoxically, sociology frees us by freeing us from the illusion of freedom, or, more exactly from the misplaced belief in illusory freedoms."

Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002)
