A Space for Gratitude?
from Part III - Gratitude and Society
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 December 2022
Reddie offers a history and indictment of anti-Blackness in British Christianity and politics, from its imperial origins to the Brexit referendum and the Windrush scandal. Through the act of truth-telling, Black Theology aims to dismantle the veneration of Whiteness at the heart of British Christianity. To counter the narrative of exclusion with belonging, reparations must be made, for which the biblical example of Zacchaeus serves as a model. But as long as the apparatus of Empire remains operative in British Christianity, Reddie wonders whether gratitude is possible for Black people of the Windrush generation.
