Discourses of Brexit

"This publication makes a timely contribution to the fields of both social sciences and, in particular, to discourse analysis … It will, in fact, appeal to researchers, students and a broader audience that is interested in populism or Brexit but also discourse and the way it shapes identity and opinion. It is well written with clearly presented thought-provoking research that is a credit to its contributors and editors alike."

Sharon Hartle, Iperstoria, Issue 15 – Spring/Summer 2020

"Addressing a wide range of data and methods, Discourses of Brexit decodes the political, social and discursive strategies that shaped the 'No' vote on the British EU referendum … a valuable contribution to both political science and discourse studies."

Salomi Boukala, Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences, Greece

"We have been told that 'Brexit means Brexit'. This book finds that it means rather more than that. Contributors explore the many things Brexit has been made to mean across genres and media. […] It will be of interest and use to political scientists, media scholars and many others concerned with the future of political debate in Britain."

Alan Finlayson, University of East Anglia, UK

"Do we really need to talk about how we talk about Brexit? We do, and the present volume shows why. It is tightly organized, chapters meticulously cross-referenced, and, for an edited volume, remarkably coherent in style. In these qualities it even surpasses Steve Buckledee’s monograph, The Language of Brexit, the research area’s trailblazer."
