Review: "This book is an original discussion of Zygmunt Bauman's work and its significance. It pays attention to the full span of Bauman's academic career; from his first essays in Poland in the 1950s, through to the role he played in opposition to actually existing socialism in the 1960s, and the groundbreaking social thought that he produced after arriving in Britain in 1971."--BOOK JACKET.
