EU Migrant Workers, Brexit and Precarity

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.

Eva A. Duda-Mikulin is an academic researcher and a lecturer at the University of Wroclaw. She has undertaken a number of qualitative and quantitative research projects within the broad disciplines of social policy, politics and sociology.
