by Zygmunt (Universities of Leeds and Warsaw) Bauman
Edited by Mark (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University) Davis, Jack Palmer, Dariusz Brzezinski, Thomas P. Campbell
Hardback
Description
A victim of the Nazis, then the communists. Twice a refugee, yet always remaining a committed socialist.
In countless ways, Zygmunt Bauman lived the political upheavals of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
He was an actor within them. Bauman’s own lived history informed his politics, which found expression in varying degrees in his sociology, as he wrote extensively on socialism, democracy, bureaucracy, morality, Europe and the Jewish experience. This volume brings together hitherto unknown or rare pieces by Bauman on the themes of history and politics by drawing upon previously unpublished material from the Bauman Archive at the University of Leeds.
A substantial introduction by the editors provides readers with a lucid guide through this material and develops connections to Bauman’s other works. The second volume in a series of books that will make available the lesser-known writings of one of the most influential social thinkers of our time, History and Politics will be of interest to students and scholars across the arts, humanities and social sciences, and to a wider readership.
