Constructing Brexit Britain

Tamsin’s first monograph, Constructing Brexit Britain, was published by Bloomsbury on 11 July 2024.

“The author pulls together different discourses of Brexit into a holistic study, showing differences and overlaps between how the media, the British government and citizens constructed national identity during the long process of the UK leaving the EU. I have been waiting for a book like this.”
