ABSTRACT
This chapter seeks to use Caribbean theology as a theological paradigm for responding to and critiquing Brexit. Given that Brexit was predicated on English/British nationalism, this chapter outlines the transnational identity of contextual theologies that are at the heart of world Christianity, in which Caribbean theology is an important part, to show the internationalist dimensions of Black Christianity in Britain. Of particular important is the relationship between Caribbean Christianity and theology and that of the Windrush Generation, who represent the embodied other in an epoch of deportation and xenophobia aimed at migrants in Britain. The Windrush Generation and their symbolic representation as signifiers of post–World War II difference is explored in terms of their experiential relationship to Caribbean theology. This work explores the relationship between Caribbean theology, the ongoing contextualisation of Christianity and cricket, as artefacts of British colonialism and their impact on the agency of Black bodies, both in Britain and in the Caribbean. This essay provides theological tools for critiquing the parochial nature of White nationalism and the bounded sense of belonging that is construed by the latter.
