Attacking transnationalism and citizenship: British Bangladeshis, family migration, and the postcolonial state
In July 2012, major changes to the family migration rules were made in the UK, severely restricting British and settled residents’ rights to sponsor non-EEA family members. However, little is known about how they have been experienced in practice, particularly by the South Asian families they target. Our article draws on policy and media analysis alongside original qualitative research to shed light on how the 2012 family migration rules have imp…
Between Here and Almost There: The Greek-Turkish Border as a Place of Passage
This article studies the life-stories and identity narratives of Turks of Western Thrace (Greece) focusing on the role of the Turkish-Greek border and its changing permeability. It suggests that people who have strong attachments to both sides of a national border experience spatial liminality and the border is a place of passage between not only territories, but also lived identities. For young Turks of Western Thrace, travelling to Turkey to wo…
The Burden of Conviviality: British Bangladeshi Muslims Navigating Diversity in London, Luton and Birmingham
This article considers the convivial turn in migration and diversity studies, and some of its silences. Conviviality has been conceptualised by some as the ability to be at ease in the presence of diversity. However, insufficient attention has been paid to considering who is affectively at ease with whose differences or, more particularly, what the work of conviviality requires of those marked as other vis-a-vis European white normativity. Drawin…
The hostile environment, Brexit, and 'reactive-' or 'protective transnationalism
The 'reactive transnationalism hypothesis' posits a relationship between discrimination and transnational practice. The concept has generally been studied using quantitative methods, but a qualitative approach augments our understanding of two context-specific dimensions: thenatureof the discrimination involved, and thetypesof transnational behaviour that might be affected. Drawing on in-depth interviews with Bangladesh-origin Muslims in London, …
The demobilization of diaspora: History, Memory and 'Latent Identity
In the context of sustained interest in the mobilization of diasporic identities, I consider how and why diasporic identities might be demobilized over time. I use the case of an Indian Pakistani community in the UK and the USA (sometimes referred to as 'Bihari') to examine how historical memories of conflict are narrated in diaspora and the impact this has on the presence or absence of 'diasporic consciousness'. The significance of memory in dia…
Rethinking Muslim migration: Frameworks, Flux and Fragmentation
In the wake of the San Bernardino and Orlando shootings, as well as the Paris and Brussels attacks, and in the midst of the right wing populism of US. presidential campaigns and UK referendum debates, the political rhetoric around Muslim migration has sunk to an all-time low. The Bengal Diaspora provides a much needed antidote. By studying Muslim migration across continents the book provides insights into a global climate of Islamophobia, and it …
Displacement, integration and identity in the postcolonial world
Defining the relationship between displaced populations and the nation state is a fraught historical process. The Partition of India in 1947 provides a compelling example, yet markedly little attention has been paid to the refugee communities produced. Using the case of the displaced ‘Urdu-speaking minority’ in Bangladesh, this article considers what contemporary discourses of identity and integration reveal about the nature and boundaries of the…
New racisms, new racial subjects? The neo-liberal moment and the racial landscape of contemporary Britain
The articles in this volume reflect upon a very specific moment in the social architecture of British society: a moment that brings financial meltdown together with some sizeable shifts in the racial and ethnic landscape of the UK. As a 'neo-liberal revolution' heralds the end of public services and the end of the welfare state, it proclaims 'the end of race' as well. But cultural retrenchment and coded xenophobia have also been sweeping the poli…
Abjects or agents? Camps, contests and the creation of 'political space
The ‘Urdu-speaking population’ in Bangladesh, displaced by the Partition in 1947 and made ‘stateless’ by the Liberation War of 1971, exemplifies some of the key problems facing uprooted populations. Exploring differences of ‘camp’ and ‘non-camp’ based displacement, this article represents a critical evaluation of the way ‘political space’ is contested at the local level and what this reveals about the nature and boundaries of citizenship. Semi-st…
Subjectivity and Citizenship: Intersections of Space, Ethnicity and Identity Among the Urdu-Speaking Minority in Bangladesh
Abjects or agents? Camps, contests and the creation of 'political space
The ‘Urdu-speaking population’ in Bangladesh, displaced by the Partition in 1947 and made ‘stateless’ by the Liberation War of 1971, exemplifies some of the key problems facing uprooted populations. Exploring differences of ‘camp’ and ‘non-camp’ based displacement, this article represents a critical evaluation of the way ‘political space’ is contested at the local level and what this reveals about the nature and boundaries of citizenship. Semi-st…
