Il libro pertanto si presenta con una notevole dose di attualità soprattutto in considerazione delle grandi difficoltà che si riscontrano oggi in Italia in tema di gestione dell'immigrazione e del relativo confronto fra culture di popoli diversi da cui scaturisce ambivalenza.
Molto interessanti la prima parte e le conclusioni: più lenta la parte centrale relativa all'esempio delle complesse problematiche dell'integrazione della popolazione ebraica nel contesto europeo.
E' un libro che si può leggere avendo tuttavia un minimo di preparazione in materia.

As already said for other books from Z. Bauman, even in this case this is an important book.
This is an interesting analysis about the relations between the concept of modernity (maybe post-modernity) and ambiguity according to various meanings and implications in particular those involving the problem deriving from the contacts and confrontations among different cultures. This aspect makes this book particularly relevant for many present issues for example for italian society which is currently dealing with many problems related to the management of immigration and the cohabitation of different cultures and the resulting critical and ambivalent role.
The first half and the conclusions of the book are very interesting: the central part, more focused on the example of the problems and history of the integration of the Jewish communities in the european context, is maybe a little bit "slower"
I suggest the reading of this book having however some preparation and inclination to this kind of topics and books.
