Djordje Sredanovic – författare

This edited volume offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary examination of Brexit as both a discursive construct and a lived, evolving reality. Bringing together ethnography, discourse analysis, and qualitative analysis of interviews, the chapters foreground migrant voices to explore how identity, language, and belonging are negotiated across shifting political and social landscapes. The book highlights key themes such as the fluidity of migrant identities, the role of language in sustaining transnational ties, the stratification of mobility, and the persistence of linguistic and racialised inequalities, including accentism and microaggressions.The volume is intended for scholars and students in sociolinguistics, migration studies, intercultural communication, and European studies, as well as policymakers and educators interested in language, identity, and integration. It will also appeal to researchers working on multilingualism, diaspora communities, and language ideologies.Readers will benefit from empirically grounded insights into the complex aftermath of Brexit, gaining a nuanced understanding of how macro-level political discourse intersects with micro-level experiences. This book will be of interest to scholars in sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, language and identity, and migration studies.

The book offers interdisciplinary analyses of the impact of Brexit on the rights of EU27 citizens in the UK, Britons in the UK and the EU, and third-country nationals. It combines a historical examination of citizenship and migration between the UK, Europe and the Commonwealth with the analysis of policies and of the experiences of the different groups impacted by Brexit. The book discusses Brexit within the larger history and dynamics of UK and EU citizenship and migration. The individual chapters look at how Brexit is transforming the citizenship rights of different groups, including issues of loss of citizenship and experiences of naturalisation. They further examine the fears of the groups impacted, and larger issues of belonging, marginalisation, political orientations and mobilisations that cross legal status, nationality, ethnicity, race and class.

In this incisive analysis, Sredanovic compares and contrasts the experiences of citizenship and integration policies in the UK and Belgium.In-depth interviews with officials illuminate both the everyday application of approaches to citizenship and integration, and their evolution in recent years. By examining the levels of discretion that exist within the two countries’ systems, this book explores the variations within the implementation processes. The first comparative work of its kind, this book goes beyond the analysis of legislation to explore how citizenship and integration policies are applied on the frontline.
