在本文中，我们研究了出生在中欧和东欧（CEE）的年轻人的经历，他们是生活在“脱欧英国”的1.5代移民中的一部分。我们关注两个关键主题：1)年轻人对英国、他们的出生国和欧洲的归属感，以及这些感受受到欧盟公投结果的影响；2)年轻人在代际背景下的未来计划，特别是他们的归属感以及移民和英国退欧的破裂。英国脱欧的决定给中东欧1.5代年轻人带来了不确定性，当时他们中的许多人正在有意识地反思自己的存在、成为和财产。大多数年轻人都有一种属于英国的感觉，同时又有一种“居间感”。许多年轻人希望留在英国，至少在短期内是这样，他们对英国有一种归属感。我们对英国脱欧潜在代际影响的关注表明，中东欧的年轻人和父母可能会以不同的方式看待未来的可能性；我们从年轻人的角度来研究这些差异的一些关键原因。
In this paper, we examine the experiences of young people born in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) who are part of the 1.5 migrant generation living in ‘Brexit Britain’. We focus on two key themes: 1) young people’s feelings of belonging to Britain, their countries of birth and Europe, and the ways in which these have been impacted by the EU Referendum result; 2) young people’s future plans, in an intergenerational context, with particular regard to their feelings of belonging and the ruptures of migration and Brexit. Britain’s decision to leave the EU caused uncertainty for CEE 1.5 generation young people at a time when many of them were consciously reflecting on their beings, becomings and belongings. The majority of young people asserted a sense of belonging to Britain whilst simultaneously feeling a sense of ‘in-between-ness’. Many young people wanted to remain living in Britain, at least in the short term, and felt a sense of belonging to Britain. Our focus on the potential intergenerational impact of Brexit suggests that CEE young people and parents may view possibilities for the future differently; we examine some of the key reasons for these differences from the young people’s perspectives.
