With the advent of liquid modernity, the society of producers is transformed into a society of consumers In this new consumer society, individuals become simultaneously the promoters of commodities and the commodities they promote. They are, at one and the same time, the merchandise and the marketer, the goods and the travelling salespeople. They all inhabit the same social space that is customarily described by the term the market.

The test they need to pass in order to acquire the social prizes they covet requires them to recast themselves as products capable of drawing attention to themselves. This subtle and pervasive transformation of consumers into commodities is the most important feature of the society of consumers. It is the hidden truth, the deepest and most closely guarded secret, of the consumer society in which we now live.

In this new book Zygmunt Bauman examines the impact of consumerist attitudes and patterns of conduct on various apparently unconnected aspects of social life politics and democracy, social divisions and stratification, communities and partnerships, identity building, the production and use of knowledge, and value preferences.

The invasion and colonization of the web of human relations by the worldviews and behavioural patterns inspired and shaped by commodity markets, and the sources of resentment, dissent and occasional resistance to the occupying forces, are the central themes of this brilliant new book by one of the worlds most original and insightful social thinkers..

The war between Mexico and the United States (1846-1848) is consider one of the most painful episodes in this nation's history, both by the defeat suffered and the loss of half of the territory As a historical fact that has shaped the consciousness and national identity, around this event have been written numerous works, some in the heat of the war itself and others with the serenity afforded by distance and time. The American historiography on the matter has been much more prolific, but since 1997 the 150 anniversary of the war renewed the Mexican interest in this event and the overall analysis of the context, military and political aspects of it. Understanding the war and its motives involves going back in the past. The internal context of Mexico, characterized by political instability, the struggle between federalism and centralism, the independence of Texas in 1836 and the war with France in 1838 put the country in a position of weakness that is observed in this text. Here we can analyze, from the nineteenth century, the details of a region divided into and between two countries that became a meeting place. Now that s becoming dominant is urgent the need to reconcile interests and value the richness that migration has generated..
