Making Home in the Suburb: Everyday Encounters in the Lebanese Australian House

This book investigates everyday life within Lebanese Australian homes, documenting how these homes integrate Lebanese Australian culture into suburban Australian life. It explores how the homemaking practices of Lebanese Australian families both influence and are influenced by the context of suburban housing in Australia. Drawing from in-depth interviews, household tours, photographic documentation, mental mapping, and historical imagery data collection, the book illuminates homemaking practices that have evolved from creating a home away from home to practices influenced by a unique Lebanese Australian lifestyle, rooted in the perception of Australia as their home.
