520 _aThe Institute's Survey of Race Relations in Britain, a five-year project which started in 1963 on a grant from the Nuffield Foundation, was concerned with the implica tions for British society of the presence of a substantial number of Commonwealth immigrants. It commissioned a number of full-scale inquiries in cities with large immigrant settlements, within the immigrant communities them selves, and in industry. Among them is this study of the Indian Workers' Asso ciations, formed wherever Punjabis have settled in Britain. The author describes the internal political workings of the associations, comparing them with the politics of village life in India and of other immigrant organizations, and assesses the role they have to play in Britain. DeWitt John is a graduate of Chicago University. The research for his book was financed by the Survey, and by a Fulbright award.
