This new edition of Tom Bottomore's text has been revised, updated and substantially enlarged. The book offers an introduction to the study of social class in modern societies. Features new to this edition are that it examines the profound economic and social changes that have taken place in the major industrial countries since the 1950s; that it takes into account the dramatic upheavals in Eastern Europe with the failure of totalitarian socialism; that it analyzes the impact of these changes on class structure and class relations, considering their cultural and political implications in relation to the growth of new social movements; and that it discusses the various theories of class and the revisions of them that have been undertaken in recent times.

These ground-breaking collections offer 200 texts from 11 languages, never before available in English or as a collection, along with a new reading of cultural history that draws on contemporary scholarship on women and on India. This extraordinary body of literature and important documentary resource illuminates the lives of Indian women through 2,600 years of change and extends the historical understanding of literature, feminism, and the making of modern India. The biographical, critical, and bibliographical headnotes in both volumes, supported by an introduction which Anita Desai describes as “intellectually rigorous, challenging, and analytical,” place the writers and their selections within the context of Indian culture and history.
 Volume II: The Twentieth Century features poetry, fiction, drama, and autobiography by 73 writers born after 1905, some widely appreciated in their own time, others neglected or ignored. These works bring into the scope of literary discussion a whole new range of women’s experiences in and responses to society, politics, desire, marriage, procreation, aging, and death.

Lalita, K. (eds.)

This collection of interviews with notable women performers from the rock world focuses on both new performers with a more radical approach and the more established, but still progressive, artists working today. Rock journalist Liz Evans talks to them about their experience of sexism in the music industry, the riot girl phenomenon, whether they see the recent proliferation of women's bands as a trend that's here to stay, their perception of rock music as a barometer of popular culture, and so on.
