Description Through a close examination of middle-class associational life, this book reveals the impact of Decolonisation on British society in the 1960s.
About the Author Anna Bocking-Welch is Lecturer in British and Imperial History at the University of Liverpool.
This accessibly written book will appeal to students and scholars of modern British history; particularly those with interests in empire, internationalism and civil society.
This book uncovers how associations and organisations acted on this sense of duty, developing projects that promoted friendship and hospitality as the foundations of world peace, visions for secular and religious forms of humanitarianism that encouraged relationships of both sympathy and solidarity with those in the global south, and plans to increase international understanding through educative activities.
In the 1960s, for many participants in associational life, it became a civic duty to engage, understand, and intervene to help the shrinking world in which they lived.
By studying a wide range of associational organisations, this book shows that globalisation and Decolonisation opened up new opportunities for international engagement for middle-aged members of middle-class society.
The book moves away from the traditional focus on cultural, media and governmental archives to analyse public agency and civic forms of engagement with the declining Empire.
It broadens our understanding of who had a stake in decolonisation, while also revealing the optimism and enthusiasm with which members of the British public developed visions for a post-imperial global role.
