This is the first single-authored critical engagement with the
major works of Zygmunt Bauman. Where previous books on Bauman have
been exegetical, here an unwavering light is shone on key themes in
the sociologist's work, exposing serious weaknesses in Bauman's
interpretations of the Holocaust, Western modernity, consumerism,
globalisation and the nature of sociology. The book shows how
Eurocentrism, the neglect of issues of gender and a lack of
awareness of the racism faced by Europe's non-white ethnic
minorities seriously limit Bauman's analyses of Western societies.
At the same time, it points to Bauman's repeated insistence on the
need for sociologists to take a moral stance in favour of the
world's poor and downtrodden as being his most valuable legacy. The
book will be of great interest to sociologists. Its readability
will be valued by undergraduates and postgraduates and it will
attract a readership well beyond the discipline. -- .
