The Nagani Book Club (Burmese: နဂါးနီစာအုပ်အသင်း) was a publishing group in British Burma. Modelled after the Left Book Club in London, it exerted a strong left-wing influence in the British colony.[1] From 1937 to 1941, the club issued 70 to 100 Burmese language books in the fields of literature, history, economics, politics, and science, and published a monthly newsletter.[2] The book club ceased publication in 1941, due to the outbreak of World War II and ensuing suppression of operations during the Japanese occupation of Burma.[3] The book club was popularised by the eponymous song, Nagani . Closely associated with the Thakin movement, the book club familiarised local readers with international developments, knowledge, and literature, and influenced the country's independence movement from Great Britain.
