Review

"Fascinating ... a much-needed contribution to our understanding of the ways in which first generation Bangladeshis perceive the process of migration. It is also an important engagement with wider debates about the issues confronting minority ethnic groups in this country and their transnational networks."--Journal of Ethnic and Racial Studies

"Gardner's study is an important contribution to the migration literature and it can be hoped that the theoretical insights generated by studying the relationship between life course and migration inspire similar research among other migrant communities. It is a pleasant and useful read not only for scholars but for the wider community interested in issues of migration and the life course."--Asian and Pacific Migration Journal

"The book begins with an excellent review of the main theoretical debates and empirical research undertaken since the 1970's, which leads to an outline of the book's key themes... In the concluding chapter, Katy Gardner returns to the main theme of the book - the relationship between Sylhet and Britain (desh/bidesh) - and powerfully draws on her interviews to summarize her arguments in the various chapters about place, home, migration, lifecourse and the myth of return. The book makes a much-needed contribution to our understanding of the ways in which first generation Bangladeshis perceive the process of migration. It is also an important engagement with wider debates about the issues confronting minority ethnic groups in this country and their transnational networks."--Ethnic and Racial Studies
