- 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.
