Bauman seeks to liberate us from the thinking that renders us hopeless in the face of our own domineering governments and threats from abroad. In this book he shows us we can give up belief in a hierarchical arrangement of states and powers and urges us to think in new ways about a newly flexible, newly challenging world.
