Migrant, Habitus

‘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
‘A groundbreaking Bourdieusian analysis of Lebanese migration, revealing how settling creates tormented identities through embodied struggle, temporal trajectories and spatial transformation in multicultural Australia.’ Dalia Abdelhady, Lund University
