A longitudinal, intersectional study of migrant women, this book
examines the lives of first generation Bangladeshi migrants to the
UK, considering the dynamic relationship between people and place.
Shedding new light on a migrant population about which little is
known, the author explores the experiences of women who left rural
homes to live in London, speaking no English, with no experience of
local customs and having to adjust to what would now be
dramatically shrunken family sizes, within which they would act as
bearers of culture and tradition. Based on research spanning a
decade Family, Citizenship and Islam draws on qualitative
interviews with over 100 women and examines questions of identity,
belonging, citizenship and Britishness, religion, ageing, care, and
the family. With attention to the fluidity of the experiences of
the first generation of migration women, the book offers an
alternative to much ethnographic research, which often offers only
a 'snapshot' of a particular minority or migrant group as fixed and
preserved in time. As such, Family, Citizenship and Islam will
appeal to scholars of sociology, geography and anthropology with
interests in migration and diaspora, citizenship, gender, religion,
family and the lifecourse, and the ways in which these different
aspects of a person's life come together to shape lived experience.
