Middle-class Values in India and Western Europe discusses the
distinctive attributes of the middle classes in France, Germany and
India. The construction of new norms of respectability is a
universal feature of the middles classes, though their rhetoric has
varied in different societies. Drawing on historical experiences in
both western Europe and colonial India, the contributors to this
volume try to understand the common inheritance of these newly
emerging middle classes and the social and political impact they
have had on their societies of origin. Each study is based on
detailed research and combines both theoretical and empirical
material. The book is divide into three sections. The first
section, 'The Rise of the Middle Class in India and Western Europe'
has three chapters and they dwell on the middle class and
secularization; the middle classes in twentieth-century India; and
the values of the middle classes in Germany. The second section,
'Class Formation in the Twentieth Century' contains four essays
which discuss the character of the Indian middle class;
middle-class values and the creation of a civil society; the 'Grand
Ecoles' in France; and the changing social structure of the German
society and the transformation of the German bourgeois culture. The
last section, 'Values and Orientations' consists of five papers on
the Indian middle class and explore the cultural construction of
gender in urban India; the Dalit middle class; the political
orientation of the middle classes; the politics of the middle
classes and their shifting class values.
