An important interdisciplinary collaboration that contextualises how Brexit has changed citizens' rights and presents the experiences of Brexit in the UK, EU and beyond. The authors contributing to the project come from different disciplines, including sociology, law, anthropology and political sciences. The book analyses citizenship and migration policies and how Brexit has changed the rights of British, EU and third-country nationals. Further, it locates such policy changes within the longer histories of British and EU migration policies. This highlights how Brexit was not an isolated event, but rather has found place within wider trends of restriction of citizenship rights on both sides of the Channel. Through different ethnographic and cultural studies, the book presents the experiences of British and EU nationals in the UK, Belgium and Spain. It discusses issues of citizenship and naturalisation, belonging, conviviality and hostility, families, risk and political mobilisation, to show the wide-ranging consequences of Brexit. By triangulating different experiences and perspectives, it shows how Brexit involves a loss of formal rights (and attempts to contain them). At the same time, it shows how Brexit involves wider issues of transformation of British and EU societies, and questions of who and how is accepted in such societies. Taken together, the analyses of the book aim to put at the centre the citizens impact by Brexit and to show the long-term consequences of the Brexit process. A wide-ranging analysis that allows to understand the ramifications of Brexit in the future of the UK and the EU.
