Synopsis

This book shows how the vote to leave the European Union increased hostilities towards racial and ethnic minorities and migrants. It asks whether populist views that there should be a British identity - or a Scottish, Irish or Welsh one - will prevail. It covers events in politics and education that have left most white British people ignorant of the Empire, the often brutal de-colonisation and the arrival of immigrants from post-colonial and European countries. It discusses politics and practices in education, race, religion and migration that have left schools and universities failing to engage with a multiracial and multicultural society.

Media Reviews
''Rich, insightful, challenging and surprising this is an astonishing book. Sally Tomlinson takes the reader on a whirlwind tour through the history of Empire then and now laying bare the racist fantasies of oppression and control that should shame a nation and yet continue to shape the present day.'' David Gillborn, University of Birmingham
This unique study of the background to Brexit tells the full story of the imperialist legacy and the educational differences that underlay it in a systematic critique that goes a long way to explaining our current dilemmas. Gary McCulloch, UCL Institute of Education
