First published in 1965, Commonwealth for a Colour-Blind World argues that the Commonwealth can work more effectively to reduce racial tensions than any other grouping of states in existence at the time.The heart of this book is India, without whose membership the Commonwealth could hardly survive. Ingram points out the vital importance of helping to build a strong democratic India and pleads for India to play a greater part in Commonwealth affairs. Only with full Indian support can the Commonwealth become truly effective.As he moves across the vast Commonwealth canvas, Ingram writes controversially on a great variety of topics—Nehru’s last years, the campaigns for nuclear disarmament, the treatment of immigrants in Britain—even Mods and Rockers. He approaches his difficult subject in an original manner. The book begins for example with a description of the death of a drunken Ghanaian in Russia and ends with a discussion of Tchekov.

The Commonwealth at Work examines the nature of the widely varied machinery which is at work within the Commonwealth trying to promote cooperation between the member countries on all levels and in many different spheres, including higher education. It describes the Commonwealth Secretariat and its functions in theory and practice, along with the Commonwealth Foundation, the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association, and the Commonwealth''s economic machinery, including the Commonwealth Liaison Committee and the Commonwealth Development Corporation. This book consists of 10 chapters and opens with a discussion on how the Commonwealth machinery that exists can grow and be more effectively used for the good of the 800 million people of all the member nations, as well as the consultation and cooperation that occur among those nations. The rRegional groupings in Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean are considered, together with the Heads of Government conferences. The following chapters focus on the functions of the Commonwealth Secretariat and Commonwealth''s relationship with the United Nations; the Commonwealth Foundation; the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association; and the Commonwealth Institute and its relation with the Royal Commonwealth Society. Some areas of cooperation among Commonwealth states are examined, including higher education, medicine, and communication and the arts. This monograph will be of interest to political scientists, politicians, government officials, and students and practitioners in the field of international relations.
