Description
Flourishing in Babylon: A Black British Agency and Self-Determination. Joe Aldred explores a fresh understanding of the Black British experience through a realised eschatology rooted in identity, empowerment and an agenda. Drawing on Jeremiah's letter to Jewish exiles and his own Pentecostal tradition, Aldred offers a new perspective on the quest for flourishing in the face of oppression. A realised eschatology is rooted in the idea that there exists opportunity to fully flourish without apology, even in contested diasporan contexts. This book examines how this vision can inform our understanding of Black British identity and agency, and how it might be applied in practice.
