| Résumé: | This chapter reports on the experiences of higher education among British Bangladeshis in the UK with a focus on identities of race and gender in particular. It is based on research conducted with a sample of British Bangladeshis studying at or recently graduated from universities around the UK, whose parental home is in London or Birmingham. In each location, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted in the form of same-sex parent and child dyads, alongside narrative interviews and interviews with civil society. The analysis points to inconsistencies at the heart of the UK education system in that while British Bangladeshis are being encouraged to aim high, to be ambitious and optimistic, they are also tasked with accepting responsibility for the structural and racialised disadvantage that prevents them from translating educational success into labour market advantage. |
