What Does God Think About Brexit?

Autor David Nixon
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 dec 2020

It considers the emotional reactions which have been generated, and places Brexit in the context of contemporary populism and the politics of the United States. The book concludes with a call for reconciliation via new imaginaries of solidarity and inclusion.
