In this short book, Zygmunt Bauman analyzes the origins, periphery, and impact of current migratory waves. The author shows how politicians have taken advantage of the fears and anxieties that have become widespread, especially among those who have already lost so much: the disinherited and the poor. However, he argues that the policy of mutual separation, of building walls instead of bridges, is a mistake. This book is a lucid and incisive reflection on one of the hottest topics on the global political agenda: refugees.
Zygmunt Bauman was a Polish–British sociologist and philosopher. He was driven out of the Polish People's Republic during the 1968 Polish political crisis and forced to give up his Polish citizenship. He emigrated to Israel; three years later, he moved to the United Kingdom. He resided in England from 1971, where he studied at the London School of Economics and became Professor of Sociology at the University of Leeds, later emeritus. Bauman was a social theorist, writing on issues as diverse as modernity and the Holocaust, consumerism in postmodernity, and liquid modernity.
