- This book weaves together an original argument about cosmopolitanism, and a plea for what the author calls 'rooted cosmopolitanism', with an historical argument about Jewish memory in relation to the Holocaust.
- The book is unusual in that it tells the intellectual history of several important, but recently neglected, thinkers and their work on Jewish national memory and politics in the immediate aftermath of the Holocaust, including Hannah Arendt, Rafael Lemkin, and Hersh Lauterpacht.
- The author is a well-known sociologist who has worked closely with Ulrich Beck and has published several books on the Holocaust and cosmopolitanism.
