This book is about the impact of decolonisation on British civic
society in the 1960s. It shows how participants in middle class
associational life developed optimistic visions for a post-imperial
global role. Through the pursuit of international friendship,
through educational efforts to know and understand the world, and
through the provision of assistance to those in need, the British
public imagined themselves as important actors on a global stage.
As this book shows, the imperial past remained an important
repository of skill, experience, and expertise in the 1960s, one
that was called upon by a wide range of associations to justify
their developing practices of international engagement. This book
will be useful to scholars of modern British history, particularly
those with interests in empire, internationalism, and civil
society. The book is also designed to be accessible to
undergraduates studying these areas. -- .
