“Nikos Papastergiadis has put the cosmos back into cosmopolitanism, refusing to cede the intellectual and aesthetic gravity of the concept to reductive, neoliberal apologia. Added to his usual encyclopedic scholarship and lucid writing is a generous sense of connection to place, people, and planet that makes this book both compelling and urgent – a must-read!”Marsha Meskimmon, Loughborough University“In this inspiring and lucidly written book, Papastergiadis shows that cosmopolitanism exerts a continued allure for contemporary critical thought and is deeply embedded in the human condition and in aesthetic sensibility.”Gerard Delanty, Sussex University
