«Histoire de ta bêtise» is the essay by François Bégaudeau on the bourgeoisie, published by Pauvert in paperback, in French.
In this essay, François Bégaudeau analyzes the figure of the contemporary bourgeois and its contradictions: his relationship with politics, his unease before populisms, his denunciation of conflicts of interest and the way he employs concepts such as racism or xenophobia. The text proposes an uncomfortable exercise in self-perception: recognizing one’s own prejudices and one’s own class position instead of denying it.
Published in 2019 by Pauvert, the book appears classified under the category of Philosophy.
A reading for those interested in social criticism and the analysis of the middle class and contemporary politics.
