Banglascapes in Southern Europe: Im-mobilities, emplacements, temporalities

“…Despite the crucial role and importance of Southern Europe for Bangladeshis, and a growing body of literature on Bangladeshi migrants in countries such as Portugal (Mapril 2010;2014a;2014b;2019), Spain (Zeitlyn, 2006;Martín-Saiz 2017), Italy (Della Puppa 2014; King and Della Puppa 2020;Knights 1996;Knights and King 1998;Mantovan 2007;Morad and Della Puppa 2019;Priori 2010;2012a;2012b;Quattrocchi et al 2003), or Greece (Fouskas 2012;Kassimeris and Samouris 2012), there is still no comparative approach looking at the impact of the different national and city contexts on our interlocutors' experiences, nor at the connections (economic, political, religious, ritual, among others) which they have created between different European countries in the past decades.
