Lebanese Immigrants have been settling in Australia over the last 130 years. This book explains better than any other the context of this migration and the great contribution those Lebanese/ Australians have made to our country. Trevor and Andrew Batrouney have produced a timely and invaluable resource.

This book should inspire Australians from all backgrounds to listen to each other’s stories, and perhaps to produce new books and other media that give voice to the multiplicity of narratives that is the great Australian conversation.
– Prof. Robert Pascoe, Dean Laureate, Professor of History, Victoria University, Melbourne.

An engaging and surprising account of Lebanese settlement and communities in Australia from the 1880s up to the present day. This book is the result of years of painstaking research by the Batrouneys. They’ve written a book that is scrupulous in its detail but also accessible to all interested readers, school and university students and researchers. – Prof. Ken Cruickshank, Director, Sydney Institute for Community Language Education, Sydney University.

Lebanese in Australia- A Changing Mosaic is an important work and a compelling read for those interested in understanding the waves of Lebanese migration. This book outlines the settlement and work ethic in city and country Australia of Lebanese immigrants. It is a comprehensive introduction to a small population that is increasingly recognised for its large contribution to all walks of life in Australia. This book is a must in the homes of all who trace their origins to Lebanon.
