ABSTRACT
This chapter builds on insights from the life-story narratives as well as an interview as evidence to capture trans-generational and family views of reproduction of class habitus among the educated middle class. It highlights the enduring features of a middle-class family space that withstand social reproduction amidst evolving primary habitus intergenerationally. Therefore, discourses on childhood and parenting practices; and educational pursuits among middle-class families become a good site to study performative class identity and practices of class reproduction. The project of life for a considerable amount of time, during childhood, is shaped by the social institution of family and the household. Hence, family, on the whole, is considered a far more stable arrangement. Educated middle-class family prides itself in authentically safeguarding moral and traditional values.
