Based on a longitudinal ethnography with Bangladeshis in Lisbon and in London, this article unravels the ways my interlocutors perceive their onward migration projects to the UK. Their decision to migrate once again was intimately connected with the education of their children. This would not only make them fluent in English language, a global language of power and prestige according to many but would give them access to better opportunities in the labour market. Simultaneously, these new mobilities had a tremendous emotional/affective price and were seen by the parents as a sacrifice and a new beginning. This article argues that these new beginnings are not about the accumulation of diverse forms of capital per se but rather the creation of larger horizon of expectations based on the redistribution logic of relatedness, kinship and domestic units; in sum, onward migration was a future-making strategy in contexts of economic uncertainty.

展望未来：在伦敦的葡萄牙-孟加拉人继续移民、教育和公民身份

基于在里斯本和伦敦与孟加拉国人进行的纵向民族志研究，本文揭示了我的对话者如何看待他们前往英国的后续移民计划。他们再次移民的决定与子女的教育密切相关。这不仅会让他们流利地使用英语，许多人认为这是一种全球权力和声望的语言，而且会让他们在劳动力市场上获得更好的机会。同时，这些新的流动性具有巨大的情感/情感代价，被父母视为一种牺牲和新的开始。本文认为，这些新的开始并不是关于多种形式资本本身的积累，而是基于资本的再分配逻辑创造更大的期望范围。亲属关系、亲属关系和国内单位；总之，在经济不确定的情况下，继续移徙是一项开创未来的战略。
