Description: 'The Better Class' of Indians by A. Wainwright Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book examines the role of class in the encounter between South Asians and British institutions in the United Kingdom at the height of British imperialism. It argues that class served as the primary register through which British polite society interpreted and applied other social distinctions such as race, gender, and religion. Publisher Description This is the first book-length study to focus primarily on the role of class in the encounter between South Asians and British institutions in the United Kingdom at the height of British imperialism. In a departure from previous scholarship on the South Asian presence in Britain, The better class of Indians emphasizes the importance of class as the register through which British polite society interpreted other social distinctions such as race, gender, and religion. Drawing mainly on unpublished material from the India Office Records, the National Archives, and private collections of charitable organizations, this book examines not only the attitudes of British officials towards South Asians in their midst, but also the actual application of these attitudes in decisions pertaining to them. This fascinating book will be of particular interest to scholars and general readers of imperialism, immigration as well as British and Indian social history. -- . Author Biography A.
