Describing the historical emergence of these classes, from the colonial period to contemporary times, it shows how the middle classes have changed, with older groups shifting out and new entrants taking place, thereby transforming the character and meanings of the category. The essays in this volume observe multiple sites of social action (workplaces and homes, schools and streets, cinema and sex surveys, temples and tourist hotels) to delineate the lives of the middle classes and show how middle-class definitions and desires articulate hegemonic notions of the normal and the normative.  aCulture and globalization -- India.  aPolitical culture -- India.  aRay, Raka, editor.  cVC OFFICE   c68888d68888  00102ddc4071aSNULbSNULd2026-06-05l0o305.550 BAVpVC557r2026-06-05 12:55:57w2026-06-05yVC OFFICEzBooks Received from VC office
