abstract = "This chapter examines the precarious and unfree labour conditions and im/mobility of Bangladeshi migrants in Manolada as well as in other agricultural geographies of their temporary relocation within Greece. Drawing upon a theoretical framework inspired by scholarship on migrants{\textquoteright} precarity, labour geography and the aspiration/capability model, the chapter explores im/mobility patterns as an outcome of both socio-legal constraints and migrants{\textquoteright} livelihood strategies. Based on 29 semi-structured on-site interviews with Bangladeshi migrants working in the strawberry-producing area of Manolada, we argue on the existence of a {\textquoteleft}mobility in immobility{\textquoteright} pattern, which is the outcome of migrants{\textquoteright} {\textquoteleft}state of expectancy{\textquoteright} regarding their regularization process and further mobility planning. We conclude on the importance of this pattern in shaping exclusionary geographies of coercion and unfreedom. ",
