In the club presents a comprehensive examination of social clubs
across South Asia, arguing for clubs as key contributors to South
Asia's colonial associational life and civil society. Using
government records, personal memoirs, private club records, and
club histories themselves, In the club explores colonial club life
with chapters arranged thematically: the legal underpinnings of
clubs; their physical locations and compositions; their financial
health; the role of servants and staff as employees of clubs;
issues of race and class in clubs; women's clubs; and finally clubs
in their postcolonial milieus. This book will be critical reading
for scholars of South Asia, graduate students, and intellectually
engaged club members alike. -- .
