Product Description
Review
'Few other sociologists have addressed the question of the postmodern with the breadth of imagination and vision that Bauman can muster. This book steers a careful course between the twin excesses of instant dismissal - postmodernism as something to be 'against' - and thoughtless adoption - postmodernism as something to be 'celebrated'. It is a fine book which exemplifies Bauman at his brilliant best.' - Barry Smart, Auckland University
