Publisher Description: Zygmunt Bauman was a towering intellectual who saw and analysed - right up to his death in early 2017 - the great socio-political changes, often convulsive, in modern western society long before his peers. Here we highlight his prescient insights into what he dubbed 'liquid modernity' with 24 chapters on topics ranging from online loneliness via precarity/poverty/inequality to migration, fear of the 'Other' and the decline of the nation state. Chronicle of Crisis, 2011-16, written by one of the great chroniclers of our times, will be read and re-read for decades and more to come. |
