EU Migrant Workers, Brexit and Precarity: Polish Women's Perspectives from Inside the UK

by Eva A. Duda-Mikulin

Overview

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.
