Book Review Strangers at Our Door

Strangers at Our Door is a book by Zygmunt Bauman, emeritus professor of sociology at the University of Leeds. Bauman is one of the most influential sociologists of our age, who wrote many books and articles in various topics. Bauman is the advocator of late modern social theory and he conceptualizes the age that we live in as a “liquid modern” time or era. I think that especially last several books of Bauman are efforts to express and contextualize his social theory and liquid modernity concept through different themes like morality, love, utopia, and social inequalities. This book also has the same intention and it can be considered as a late modern social theorists’ view on the current refugee crisis.
