Abstract

The present work aims to review the work of Polish thinker Zygmunt Bauman, “Strangers at our Door”, published in 2017. A brief biography of the author provides support to know his life story and hisinfluences. Following is a chapter analysis, highlighting the main points. Bauman brings us a theme, that, as he points out, it is not new.There has always been migration at different historical times and for countless reasons.The contradictory character of this movement of people is explored by Bauman, drawing parallels today with various themes that affect society, such as national sovereignty, politics, economy, culture, xenophobia, racism, conflicts, among others. Fear for these strangers coming to our door results in the insecurity that will be explored and enhanced in speeches and state actionsstate policy or capital. Instead of building walls, Bauman proposes to build bridges and combat inequalities between countries, the main motivator of these migratory movements.
