Abstract:
This paper looks at the recent phenomenon of Bangladeshi immigrants in
Italy who are onward-migrating to London, after their acquisition of the Italian
citizenship – that allows them to move and relocate within the territory of the
EU. Adopting an intersectional approach, I seek to answer two questions: what
were the mobility trajectories of these migrants before arriving in Italy and within
Italy? Why do they onward-migrate from Italy to the UK? For most Italian-
Bangladeshis, Italy constitutes just a step in their migration trajectories: their
mobility biographies are marked by many arrivals and departures. This responds
to their desire for upward social mobility and their realization as adult men. This
also leads them to leave Italy and move to London: in order to escape socially
limiting factory work, to invest in the educational future of their children, to join
a much larger Bangladeshi community set within a receptive multicultural and
religion-tolerant society.
Keywords:
onward migration, Italian-Bangladeshi, migration trajectories, European citizenship, multiple mobilities.
