Book Synopsis Contested Capital: Rural Middle Classes in India by : Maryam Aslany
Book excerpt: It explores the formation of India's rural middle class, which rests on a complex, and often contradictory, set of processes that began unfolding with growing industrialisation in rural areas. It examines its composition, characteristics and social identification from the perspectives of three major class theorists: Marx, Weber and Bourdieu.
