Society under siege

This work is the result of an attempt to renew the intellectual tools needed to determine how people collectively live in this world and how they want to live. Bauman presents us the journey of these tools, especially the discipline of sociology, from past to present in a fluent language and with a deep intellectual knowledge. It discusses, one by one, the choices, problems, dangers and uncertainties facing individuals and communities in the modern age where everything is in flux.

Bauman tells us that sociology will gain great importance again in the age we live in. The world we live in is a world that humans have created and can recreate. Moreover, the same world is now a place where, in the face of all the environmental, political, social and economic disasters, it has become more urgent than ever for people to come to terms with their differences in order to survive.

Here, Bauman gives his readers clues about how sociology can help people avoid these disasters and transform the world they live in into a better place...
