The Bauman Reader

The remarkably diverse writings of Zygmunt Bauman range across a large number of issues in sociology, politics, history, and cultural studies. This is the first collection of Baumana s writings that covers the entire breadth of his work, and includes a summarizing essay and commentary by editor Peter Beilharz. As a whole, this is not only a guide to Baumana s way of thinking, but a guide to making sense of our times through the major work of one of the most important figures in late--twentieth--century social thought
