Bibliography
Zygmunt Bauman (1925-2017) was Emeritus Professor of
Sociology at the Universities of Leeds and Warsaw
Keith Tester is Professor of Social Theory, University of Portsmouth
'Zygmunt Bauman is a rare intellectual. He does not like to talk
about himself except via the byways, the work of others and the
problems of the world. Keith Tester is a fine interlocutor who
knows how to draw Bauman out. The result is a fascinating series of
conversations. This is a book to press against the future, a book
for tomorrow. Peter Beilharz, Thesis Eleven, La Trobe
University
It is very readable. It provides a clear introduction to Bauman's
ideas in a much more concise and open style than is otherwise
possible ploughing through his volumous works. As such it is to be
highly recomendable" Gary Pattison, University of Southampton,
