Produktbeschreibung

Set in urban India, the book discusses changing educational landscapes in the South Indian city of Kochi, a local hub for trade, tourism, and cosmopolitan middle-class lifestyles. Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, the author examines the way education features as a major way the transformation of the city, and India in general, are experienced and envisaged by upwardly-mobile residents. This path-breaking new study adds a unique, anthropologically informed, perspective to South Asian studies, urban studies and the study of education.
