These excellent essays are an important intervention in understanding the cultural politics of the Brexit phenomenon. Multifarious in their starting points and focus, they hone in on the cultural nostalgias, the politics of race and nation, and the long-term historical forces which have shaped the UK's departure from the European project.Colin Graham, Professor and Dean of the Faculty of Arts, Celtic Studies & Philosophy, Maynooth University, IrelandDrawing on fiction, film, theatre and other cultural texts, these twelve postcolonial scholars give unique insights into the resurgent colonialism and nostalgia for Britain’s imperial past that underpinned the decision to leave Europe in the 2016 Brexit referendum, and its aftermath.Janet Wilson and Chris Ringrose, editors, Journal of Postcolonial WritingAn impressive lineup of young and veteran postcolonial scholars turn the outward colonial gaze inwards, resulting in an original set of perspectives on the (textual) forms and (historical) formations of Britain’s exit from the EU.
