> Conducted within the theoretical context associated with the work
> of Pierre Bourdieu, Derek Wynne looks at how this group of
> people   goes about constructing and defending its social
> identity. Through the study of residents living on a recently
> constructed housing estate, 'The Heath', which contains its own
> private  leisure and sports facilities, he considers the extent to
> which social identity within the new middle class can be
> considered to relate more to experience associated with leisure
> and cultural  consumption than to experiences related to
> productive activity.
