"Essential reading for all trying to navigate the choppy waters of post-Brexit Britain." - Rupa Huq MP "Brexit was a long time coming. Danny Dorling and Sally Tomlinson in the exquisite and timely Rule Britannia get that and know that the responses must be as big, if not bigger, than the tsunami the vote to leave has created. Here is that rich but rare mix of profound analysis and hope for something better."- Neal Lawson, chair of Compass "A much-needed mirror through which Britain and what it means to be British is explored with razor-sharp nuance and detail. The book's contents should form the basis of the humanities curriculum at schools - equipping our future generations with a more truthful and grounded understanding of what Britain really is." - Shaista Aziz, journalist, writer and stand-up comedian "Leaver or Remainer, if you think Brexit might affect you or your children or your children's children, read this book." - Peter Florence, director, Hay Literary Festival "The single most important book about Brexit.


Meticulously researched and clearly written, Rule Britannia exposes the racism, ideology and narrow self-interest behind the Brexit rhetoric." - Professor David Gillborn, director, Centre for Research in Race and Education, University of Birmingham "Absolutely brilliant. Extremely insightful and thought-provoking." - Dimitris Ballas, Professor of Economic Geography, University of Groningen "Danny Dorling and Sally Tomlinson's Rule Britannia makes for essential reading on the connections between Brexit and Britain's colonial history. It is a highly readable book and, despite the gravity of its content, a joy to read in being replete with humour and anecdotal gems. A re-education in itself, the book convincingly argues that changes to education policy, schooling and curricula are essential to challenging and averting the disastrous consequences of Britain's imperial nostalgia and ignorance." - Nadine El-Enany, Senior Lecturer in Law, Birkbeck.
