Every migrant journey reshapes both the people undergoing it and the places it encounters.

Migrant, Habitus 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.
