<p>This is the first interdisciplinary edited collection that examines the manifestation of social inequalities and polarisations in Britain throughout the dual crises of the Brexit vote and the COVID-19 pandemic. The volume demonstrates that Brexit and the pandemic are not self-contained events, but rather are major ongoing processes that have impacted all aspects of British social and political life. Drawing on an array of empirical case studies conducted in the wake of the Brexit vote and during pandemic lockdowns, chapters trace how these processes illuminate, consolidate, and amplify existing and entrenched social inequalities and polarisations that shape the fabric of British society, including racial, ethnic, class, migrant, national, and gendered inequalities.</p><p>The volume is divided into three parts centred on a) the nation; b) the community; and c) the media. Each section draws on diverse analytical frameworks and methodological approaches from across the social sciences,
