Rebordering Britain & Britons after Brexit

EU migrant workers, Brexit and precarity: Polish women's perspectives from inside the UK

Abstract

How has the Brexit vote affected EU migrants to the UK? This book presents a female Polish perspective, using findings from research carried out with migrants interviewed before and after the Brexit vote - voices of real people who made their home in the UK. It looks at how migrants view Brexit and what it means for them, how their experiences compare pre- and post-Brexit vote, and their future plans, as well as considering the wider implications of the migrant experience in relation to precarity and the British paid labour market. © Policy Press 2019.
