Reviews

A bold and wide-ranging book which isn't afraid to look at the big picture and relate recent events to wider social trends. Linda Woodhead, Lancaster University, UK. In a world that is increasingly prey to populism and revolt, and is at the same time replete with the forces of alienation and marginalisation, we need clear-headed and far-sighted thinkers to chart the landscape that lies before us. Christopher Steed assesses the contemporary culture in which we find ourselves, and offers helpful critiques that will act as important guideposts for our futures. Steed's accessible and penetrating insights are a must for all those concerned with mapping the way forward. The Very Reverend Professor Martyn Percy, Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, UK. What lies behind the political upheavals of Brexit, Trump and the rise of populist political parties? Chris Steed explores the paradox of a world that is both becoming smaller and leaving millions at the mercy of faceless forces. John Denham, University of Winchester, UK.
