Endorsements
Zygmunt Bauman is regarded by many as one of the greatest sociologists of all time. This book is the first single-authored, critical engagement with his most important works. Previous books on Bauman have been exegetical, but Ali Rattansi shines an unwavering critical light on key themes in Bauman's work. In a lucid and compelling text, he exposes serious weaknesses in Bauman's interpretations of the Holocaust, Western modernity, consumerism, globalisation and the nature of sociology. He also shows how Eurocentrism, the neglect of gender issues and a lack of awareness of the racism faced by Europe's non-white ethnic minorities seriously limits Bauman's analyses of Western societies. At the same time, Rattansi 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 likely to be his most enduring legacy. Bauman and contemporary sociology will be of great interest to scholars throughout the field. Its readability will be valued by undergraduates and postgraduates and will attract a readership well beyond the discipline.
