This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the theological
challenge presented by the new post-Brexit epoch. The referendum
vote for Britain to leave the European Union has led to a seismic
shift in the ways in which parts of the British population view and
judge their compatriots. The subsequent rise in the reported number
of racially motivated incidents and the climate of vilification and
negativity directed at anyone not viewed as 'authentically' British
should be a matter of concern for all people. The book is comprised
of a series of essays that address varying aspects of what it means
to be British and the ways in which churches in Britain and the
Christian faith could and should respond to a rising tide of White
English nationalism. It is a provocative challenge to the all too
often tolerated xenophobia, as well as the paucity of response from
many church leaders in the UK. This critique is offered via the
means of a prophetic, postcolonial model of Black theology that
challenges the incipient sense of White entitlement and parochial
'nativism' that pervaded much of the referendum debate. The essays
in this book challenge the church and wider society to ensure
justice and equity for all, not just a privileged sense of
entitlement for some. It will be of keen interest to any scholar of
Black, political and liberation theology as well as those involved
in cultural studies from a postcolonial perspective.
