Zygmunt Bauman is Emeritus Professor of Sociology at the Universities of Leeds and Warsaw.
"These books mark an important advance in Bauman's project. He
seems to be trying to bring the intellectuals back into the game,
twitting them for their passivity. Bauman wants social critics to
take a more active role, taking a lead by showing how the
relationships between individuals and society and between the
private and public spheres may be rearticulated and the spirit of
the agora restored to social and political life."
British Journal of Sociology
"This book is an example of what social thought can be when it is
carried out in terms of the highest of qualities. As such, it
demands to be read for two reasons; first, because of the
fascinating and new light it casts on otherwise well-worn debates
and second, as a call to arms."
Contemporary Sociology
"Bauman's argument is convincing and well substantiated. This book
forms an interesting and stimulating starting point for anyone
wishing to dig deeper into this field".
