Review
"Hopefully, scholars currently working on clubs around the British Empire will have the advantage of Cohen's work, which demonstrates the ways that clubs can reveal facts about the private life of the British Empire and details about civil society in South Asia." - Amy Milne-Smith, Wilfrid Laurier University, American Historical Review
'The volume will be a useful reference work for those wanting to know the specific mechanics of how exactly clubs were founded and flourished, for those exploring associational life more broadly, and for those examining social life within India writ large.' - Amy Milne-Smith, Wilfrid Laurier University, AHR

Race, class and the club. 6. Women and the club. 7. Postcolonial clubbing. Glossary. Bibliography. Index. Clubs in India are often regarded as antiquarian institutions left over from a bygone era with little to teach us about the past or present. Yet, In the Club presents a different picture of India s clubland. This book offers a comprehensive examination of social clubs across India. It argues that clubs have been key contributors to India s colonial associational life and civil society, and remain important nodes in public culture today. Using government records, personal memoirs, private club records, and club histories themselves, in the club explores colonial club life with chapters arranged thematically. Legal underpinnings bind clubs within, and to each, other across regional and national borders. Many clubs occupy prime locations and maintain their historic interiors. All clubs faced financial crises as they increasingly entered the global marketplace. No club could function without servants and staff, while issues of race and class in clubs continues to be debated today. Women s clubs occupy an important place in clubland, while many clubs continue to thrive today in their postcolonial milieus. This book will be critical reading for scholars of colonialism in India as well as social scientists interested in associational life and civil society. It will also be of interest to intellectually engaged club members, aspiring members, or just those curious about the inner-workings of clubs across India and beyond. Seller Inventory # 115348
