This study aims to investigate the impact of the Brexit referendum on feelings of belonging and home among secondary migrant Somali families in the city of Birmingham. Here, the Brexit referendum is understood through the analytical framework of the politics of belonging in that it functioned as a political mechanism that demarcated who was able to belong and who was not.,This research was qualitatively designed, comprising 25 in-depth, semi-structured interviews that used a whole family methodological approach. In doing so, this paper considers how the referendum challenged notions of citizenship as well as community and individual identities.,For the families engaged, they experienced the referendum as a mechanism that immediately conveyed notions of “otherness” and “foreign-ness” onto them, thereby creating anxiety, uncertainty and instability. This paper argues that the emotional components of belonging were also challenged to the extent that feelings of security, safety and “home” became rendered meaningless through the disempowering impact of the referendum via the removal of autonomy and choice in the bonds that exist between people and places.,This paper generates new knowledge about the impact of the Brexit referendum. As “one-off” event, this research provides new insights into the political, social and cultural impacts of the vote. It considers a minority group that is seen to be hard to reach and thereby under-researched.

英国伯明翰退欧，房屋和房屋：索马里移民的家庭的经验和边界维护的肮脏工作

这项研究旨在调查英国退欧公投对伯明翰市第二移民索马里家庭的归属感和住所的影响。在这里，英国脱欧公投是通过对归属政治的分析框架来理解的，因为它作为一种政治机制来划定谁可以归属，谁不能归属。该研究是定性设计的，包括25个深入，半结构化的访谈，采用了整个家庭的方法论方法。在此过程中，本文考虑了公民投票如何挑战公民身份以及社区和个人身份的概念。对于参与的家庭，他们体验了公民投票作为一种将“其他”和“外国”概念立即传达到社会的机制。他们，从而造成焦虑，不确定性和不稳定。本文认为，归属感的情感成分也受到了某种程度的挑战，即通过取消公投对人与人之间纽带的自主权和选择权的削弱，使安全感，安全感和“家”的感觉变得毫无意义。地方，本文为英国退欧公投的影响提供了新知识。作为“一次性”事件，这项研究为投票的政治，社会和文化影响提供了新的见解。它考虑了一个难以达到并因此未得到充分研究的少数群体。通过取消人与地方之间存在的纽带中的自主权和选择权而取消全民公决的影响力，使安全和“家”变得毫无意义。本文为英国退欧公投的影响提供了新知识。作为“一次性”事件，这项研究为投票的政治，社会和文化影响提供了新的见解。它考虑了一个难以达到并因此未得到充分研究的少数群体。通过取消人与地方之间存在的纽带中的自主权和选择权而取消全民公决的影响力，使安全和“家”变得毫无意义。本文为英国退欧公投的影响提供了新知识。作为“一次性”事件，这项研究为投票的政治，社会和文化影响提供了新的见解。它考虑了一个难以达到并因此未得到充分研究的少数群体。
