“…We consciously focused on male respondents and their narrated experiences because we wanted to analyze the changes in daily work rhythms and other temporalities of those who had the role of family breadwinner. This perspective has its limitations, as has been widely discussed by other researchers who privilege male testimonies yet also observe gendered experiences of migration (Donaldson et al 2009; Gallo and Scrinzi 2016; Wojnicka and Pustulk 2019). We made a reflexive effort to take into account our own gender positioning in the field, remaining sensitive to gender dynamics in the ensuing analysis, albeit based on male participants’ direct voices.…”

Taking inspiration from renewed scholarly interest in the role of time in migration, we compare the temporalities of work and social life among male Bangladeshi-origin migrants in northeast Italy and London. We draw conceptually on time geography and rhythmanalysis, and empirically on interviews with 40 Bangladeshi migrant men, to demonstrate the stark contrasts in migrants’ daily lives in the two settings and the impacts of moving from northeast Italy to London. More broadly, this article contributes to debates on the temporalities and rhythms of migrants’ everyday lives via comparative analysis. While in both settings capitalism inexorably shaped class dynamics through its command over flexible labor, there were also marked differences in the routinization of migrants’ work and social and family life. In northeast Italy’s small industrial towns, stable shift-based working rhythms created regular free time for family and associative life. In London, where participants’ employment was limited to low-skill jobs with unsocial hours, family and social life was disrupted, with consequential effects on social integration. The findings presented here highlight the under-appreciated role of onward migration in global migration dynamics and underscore the importance of time, in particular the way in which the diverse temporalities of migrants’ daily lives are shaped by the mode of regulation of the labor market and the spatial setting where migrants’ working and social lives unfold.

“…It is noteworthy to mention that experiences of migration are intersectional which reflect in the dynamics of domestic spaces in which migrant men overall migration and belonging experiences shape (Wojnicka and Pustułka 2019). For example, whilst many of studies on migrant masculinities are less focused on single migrant men, it is evident from some of the findings that home-making among single men is different to those who live with a living-in partner.…”

“…Spatial belonging for Salman was an important component of his classed identity (having had an affluent family in Nigeria) as well as reinforcing the notion of hegemonic masculinity (Connell 1995) which was still predominant in Salman's narrative. Dedicating part of the flat to himself through the 'mancave', Salman, indicates that his home-making experiences are not only gendered but are defined in relation to experiences of marginalisation (in public space as a black man) and privilege (at home in relation to the division of labour and space) (see Wojnicka and Pustułka 2019). The present home in Cork was entangled with participants' homosocial networks (mostly men) as well as their transnational family members (mostly female).…”

“…One area within this scholarship that requires greater attention is the multifarious experiences of 'migrant men' in Australia and elsewhere (see Donaldson et al 2009;Charsley and Wray 2015;Pustułka 2017, 2019). Calls to explicitly apply an intersectional theoretical approach to scholarly research to account for the variant positionalities of migrant men's experiences alongside understanding the pivotal role of migration status and its relationship to gendered experiences of privilege and marginalisation has been emphasised (Wojnicka and Pustułka 2019).…”

Drawing on relevant sociological and feminist theories namely a social constructivist and intersectional framework, this article explores ways in which migrant Iranian men as ‘refugees’ ‘who use drugs’ navigate the complex terrain of ‘double displacement’ in the Australian contemporary context. It presents findings from a series of community based participatory and culturally responsive focus groups and in-depth interviews of twenty-seven participants in Sydney, Australia. Results highlight the ways in which social categories of gender, language, class, ethnicity, race, migration status and their relationship to intersubjective hierarchies and exclusion in Australia circumnavigate and intervene with participants’ alcohol and other drugs’ (AOD) use and related harms. The article argues that there is a need to pay greater attention to the implications of masculinities, power relations and the resultant material, social and affective emotional impacts of displacement for refugee men within Australian health care responses.
