Zygmunt Bauman was both an outsider of Western modernity and one of its foremost interpreters. Zygmunt Bauman and the West argues that the distinctive social thought that sprung from Bauman's lived experiences of totalitarianism and exile amounts to a sustained, sophisticated, and unappreciated problematisation of Eurocentrism and the West.
