“This is the definitive resource in the growing field of what the editors appropriately describe as 'Bauman studies' and which they have done so much to develop. It also includes a wide variety of contributions by scholars who have worked on Bauman and drawn inspiration from his work.”-- William Outhwaite, FAcSS, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, Newcastle University, UK.“The extraordinary scope, scale and continuing political and intellectual significance of one of the most penetrating and wide-ranging critical thinkers, cultural sociologist Zygmunt Bauman, is brilliantly affirmed by the depth, range and international authorship of this justifiably monumental Handbook that reveals how Bauman’s multi-faceted thought still offers a deeply relevant guide to our current global perplexities.”-- Griselda Pollock, Professor Emerita of Social and Critical Histories of Art and Cultural Analysis, University of Leeds, UK.“This is an exciting and comprehensive Handbook of essays covering the full corpus of Zygmunt Bauman’s oeuvre a single volume. The contributors are eminent scholars from all over the world and together provide a thoroughly interdisciplinary assessment of the major contribution of Bauman to contemporary social thought.”-- Laurence Ray, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, University of Kent, UK.“The Routledge International Handbook on Zygmunt Bauman is a comprehensive exploration of one of the most influential social thinkers of our time. Bringing together an international group of outstanding scholars, this volume illuminates Bauman's central concepts. The contributors skilfully trace the development of Bauman's thought while situating it within broader philosophical and sociological debates. Rich in insight and critical depth, this handbook is an indispensable resource for researchers, students, and anyone seeking to understand the fluid, uncertain dynamics of contemporary social life.” -- Aleksandra Jasińska-Kania, Professor Emerita at Institute of Sociology, University of Warsaw, Poland."This volume is systematically presented, theoretically sophisticated, engaging and persuasive. Bauman scholars and, indeed, Bauman anoraks such as myself will find much of value here."-- Shaun Best, Independent Researcher, UK."If the twenty-first century is the age of permacrisis, and Zygmunt Bauman remains its most essential interpreter, then this collection is the ideal companion for understanding the continuing relevance of his thought to a world increasingly defined by looming catastrophe."-- Mark Featherstone, Keele University, UK
