                            [a] => Aquest article constitueix un primer intent de reconstruir la història d'Afia Begum, esposa-i després vídua- d'Abdul Hamid (un immigrant de Bangladesh al Londres Thatcherià), l'entrada de la qual fou acceptada per la British Home Office el 1982, uns mesos abans de que el seu marit morís tràgicament en un incendi a East London. A la seva arribada al Regne Unit, a Afia se li va comunicar que, degut al decés del seu marit, el seu permís de residència ja no era vàlid; el que la convertia en una immigrant il·legal a Anglaterra. En el procés de reconstrucció d'aquests fets, revisitaré també la història inèdita del Sari Squad, un grup de dones asiàtiques que van lluitar feroçment, tot i que de forma pacífica, per impedir la deportació d'Afia. Malgrat que Afia va ser finalment deportada el 8 de maig de 1984, el seu cas va tenir ressò al Tribunal Europeu dels Drets Humans i es va debatre al Parlament Europeu. En ambdós casos, la prepotència de la British Home Office fou força criticada. Com a conclusió, exposo, en un sentit literari, una clau hermenèutica per analitzar la història d'Afia a través d'un posicionament escèptic amb una lectura en termes binaris d'èxit-derrota/victimització-supervivència d'una dona estrangera que lluita contra un estat racista. Per fer-ho, empro la "connexió entre el nacionalisme i la heteronormativitat reproductiva" tal com la teoritza Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak amb la fi d'argumentar que el cas de la deportació d'Afia suggereix que la seva nacionalitat sols pot ser determinada a través de la del seu marit; el que acaba alterant i transcendentalitzant doblement la seva nacionalitat, reduint-la a la seva heteronormativitat reproductiva sociobiològica, impregnada per la petjada críptica del fantasma del seu marit, que es va convertir en el summum bonum de la seva estatalitat desproveïda.
