Pakistans Presence In The Outside World Is Dominated By Images Of Religious Extremism And Violence. These Imagesand The Narratives That Interpret Theminform Events In The International Realm, But They Also Twist Back Around To Shape Local Class Politics. In The New Pakistani Middle Class, Ammara Maqsood Focuses On Life In Contemporary Lahore, Where She Unravels These Narratives To Show How Central They Are For Understanding Competition And The Quest For Identity Among Middleclass Groups.Lahores Traditional Middle Class Has Asserted Its Position In The Socioeconomic Hierarchy By Wielding Significant Social Capital And Dominating The Politics And Economics Of Urban Life.

The Religious Sensibilities Of This New Middleclass Group Are Often Portrayed As Saudiinspired And Wahhabi.Through A Focus On Religious Study Gatherings And Also On Consumption In Middleclass Circlesranging From The Choice Of Religious Music And Home Dcor To Debit Cards And The Cut Of A Womans Burkhathe New Pakistani Middle Class Untangles Current Trends In Piety That Both Aspire Toward, And Contest, Prevailing Ideas Of Modernity. Maqsood Probes How The Politics Of Modernity Meets The Practices Of Piety In The Struggle Among Different Middleclass Groups For Social Recognition And Legitimacy.
