"This anthology provides the possibility for students of social
theory and postmodernity finally to 'get a handle' on the
multifaceted, deeply veined work of Zygmunt Bauman. Beilharz makes
a real contribution by providing organizational categories for
Bauman's diverse writing. Further, his broadly reasoned
introduction supplies a biographical, historical, and theoretical
framework for making overall sense of what Bauman has been up to
during his distinguished and highly original career." Jeffrey
Alexander, University of California at Los Angeles
"Zygmunt Bauman is one of the most enterprising minds in the
contemporary social sciences. Beilharz's selection provides a full
picture of Bauman as an analyst of class, as a moral philosopher,
and as a critic of globalization. The image that emerges is one of
a European intellectual of the old style who is entirely up to the
exigencies of our time." Peter Wagner, European University
Institute
