Drawing from a rich corpus of British cultural production and
postcolonial theory, this book positions Brexit in the historical
nexus of colonialism, colonial nostalgia, and the rise of
narcissistic nationalism in contemporary Europe. This collection
moves away from existing literary discourses framing Brexit as a
'novel' event that ushered in a new genre of British fiction. It
challenges the hackneyed public discourses that depict the results
of the 2016 Referendum as the catalyst of regional instability as
well as sociopolitical emergency in Europe. This book traces and
critiques populist myth-making in the current United Kingdom
through engagement with a wide range of literary and cultural
productions, and reminds readers of the proleptic potential of
postcolonial theorists and authors - Paul Gilroy, Austin Clarke,
Mohsin Hamid, Ali Smith, to name a few - in identifying the
residual ideologies of imperialism in the lead up to and after the
Brexit campaign. The articles featured here extend Brexit's
figurative geography towards India, Britain, Pakistan, Ireland,
Palestine, Barbados, and Eastern Europe, amongst others. They
engage with films, media representations, and public discourses
alongside more traditional genres such as the novel and stage
productions. With a diversified approach to scholarly fields such
as postcolonial literary and cultural studies, the book offers new
insights into Brexit's diverse histories not only in academic
discourses, but also in the socio-political public sphere at large.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special
issue of the Journal of Postcolonial Writing.
