Summary

Queer communities have long transformed parties into something powerful: spaces where care flourishes, injustice gets challenged, and new worlds are danced into being. But today DJs command huge fees while behind-the-scenes workers earn below minimum wage. Corporations profit from our culture while communities who created these spaces are displaced.

What They're Saying

Critics Review

“Anjali’s one of the most exciting and insightful voices writing about dance music today, bringing fresh perspectives, intellectual rigour and emotive power to a conversation that’s too often homogenous, superficial or cynically commercial. Club Commons promises to be an essential and overdue book: a chance to reexamine the queer history of club culture, celebrate and critique its present, and map out radical possibilities for its future.” Ed Gillett (author of Party Lines)
“When Anjali shines her perceptive light on dancefloor culture, everything is better illuminated. I can’t wait to read this book. It’s one we need.” Emma Warren (author of Dance Your Way Home/Up the Youth Club)
