Social and economic changes around the globe have propelled
increasing numbers of people into situations of chronic waiting,
where promised access to political freedoms, social goods, or
economic resources is delayed, often indefinitely. But there have
been few efforts to reflect on the significance of "waiting" in the
contemporary world. Timepass fills this gap by offering a
captivating ethnography of the student politics and youth activism
that lower middle class young men in India have undertaken in
response to pervasive underemployment. It highlights the importance
of waiting as a social experience and basis for political
mobilization, the micro-politics of class power in north India, and
the socio-economic strategies of lower middle classes. The book
also explores how this north Indian story relates to practices of
waiting occurring in multiple other contexts, making the book of
interest to scholars and students of globalization, youth studies,
and class across the social sciences.
