Abstract

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 impacted British Bangladeshis, and with what consequences for their experiences of citizenship and the possibilities of them leading transnational lives. We argue that the rules amount to a raced, gendered, and classed ‘attack’ on both transnationalism and citizenship and suggest that, while transnationalism and citizenship are often analysed separately, they are in fact deeply intertwined.

攻击跨民族主义和公民身份：英国孟加拉人、家庭移民和后殖民国家

2012年7月，英国对家庭移民规则进行了重大修改，严重限制了英国和定居居民赞助非欧洲经济区家庭成员的权利。然而，人们对他们在实践中的经历知之甚少，尤其是他们所针对的南亚家庭。我们的文章借鉴了政策和媒体分析以及原始的定性研究，以阐明2012年的家庭移民规则如何影响英国孟加拉人，以及对他们的公民身份经历和他们过跨国生活的可能性产生了什么影响。我们认为，这些规则相当于对跨民族主义和公民身份的种族化、性别化和分类“攻击”，并表明，尽管跨民族主义与公民身份经常被单独分析，但它们实际上是紧密交织在一起的。
