Polish Return Migration after Brexit A Sociological Forecast

"This is an extremely important book, which, thanks to a large quantitative survey conducted among Poles in the UK, brings a lot of new content and cognitive sense concerning Brexit and its impact on return decisions. The opinions of Polish migrants are presented in a broad socio-political context. This distinguished book in migration studies, will probably also allow to discuss whether the phase of post-accession migration has closed."

"Poles fleeing oppression came to Britain from the late 18th century and through the early 20th. British workers responded with support for Polish struggles. Then EU changed discussion. By the time of Brexit, the discussion had changed to make a "Polish plumber" the symbol of unwanted labor migration. This study broadens the discussion with a welcome account of how Poles understood life in Britain and after Brexit grappled with decisions about returning home. It is nuanced, informative, good social science, and important for public discussion."

"This new research on Polish migration to the UK carried out in 2019 is both timely and salient in terms of the issues it raises, the insights it provides into the motivations, attitudes, life plans and concerns of the of the million or so Polish migrants in the UK. Not only does it provide a comprehensive summary of research to date but it proposes new ways of examining the complex evolving migration plans in post Brexit UK from largely economic to more subtle higher order criteria generally termed as success in life."
