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. Maram Shaweesh is an Australian researcher whose work focuses on the interactions between the built environment and the people experiencing it, primarily from a cultural perspective. Dr. Shaweesh obtained her PhD in Architecture from the University of Queensland. Her interdisciplinary research spans several humanities and spatial disciplines, including architecture, housing adequacy, migration and multiculturalism, everyday encounters in Australian suburbs, urban design, and young people's experiences in urban spaces.
