Abstract
This chapter on ‘Nation and World’ seeks to place the phenomenon of Brexit into the wider arena of contemporary world politics, and especially the election to the US presidency of Donald Trump. The themes of identity and anxiety overlap where Brexit is seen through the lens of race, place and migration. I identify an uncomfortable theological ‘squeeze’ and attempt to resolve this, not least by reference to the work of Miroslav Volf and the biblical Book of Ruth. The potential personal pain of doing theology is part of seeing through the lens backwards.
