a brilliant new book by Zygmunt Bauman - one of the most creative social
thinkers writing today;
a highly original analysis of migrant populations, refugees and other
populations which are the 'outcasts' of modernity;
shows that the problem of how to cope with these 'superfluous' populations,
the 'human waste' of modernization, goes to the heart of what modernity and
globalization are all about;
this is Bauman at his best - highly original, very well written and very
topical.
