Beskrivning

Every migrant journey reshapes both the people undergoing it and the places it encounters. This book explores how Lebanese-Australians navigate settlement as they rework the resources they bring and acquire new ones. Drawing on extensive ethnographic research across generations, it highlights the cultural, temporal and generational dimensions of migration, showing how everyday practices shape belonging, identity and social opportunity. The book also extends Bourdieusian theory, emphasizing cultural complexity and the ‘pedagogic imperative.’ This is essential reading for sociologists, migration scholars and anyone interested in how migration transforms lives, communities and social fields.

Recensioner i media

‘This is an incredible book - the book on Bourdieu and migration that I have long been waiting for. With a quietly inquisitive style, and rich accounts of experience, the authors critically relate and ask spirited questions of Bourdieusian theory to advance understanding. They draw our attention to the deeply embodied and experiential aspects of displacement, including the sensory ‘shock’, as well as the pedagogic and non-linear dimensions of settlement practices. Inspiring, conceptually rich, and yet so true to Bourdieu in its careful grounding in empirical practice – thoroughly recommended.’ Caroline Oliver, University College London
