The main aim behind the publication of this book is to present a valuable source for re¬searchers working in the field of Lebanese emigration studies, especially those re¬searchers living in Australia and New Zealand. The book provides the reader with an annotated bibliography of the books on the state of the Lebanese mi¬grants that have been published in both of the aforementioned countries. Hence, it helps researchers through facilitating the process of reference selection. It can also serve as a means of establishing unstudied fields that could be used to produce more knowledge of the state of affairs of Lebanese migrants. The author, a sociolo¬gy professor and a researcher at the Lebanese Emigration Research Center of Notre Dame University, has made use of many universities and national libraries in Australia and New Zealand to prepare this book. He has also resorted to field data in order to get the latest updates on books published by charity and social service or¬ganizations working amongst Lebanese mi¬grants. Finally, the book encompasses most of the titles of PhD theses published by various Australian and New Zealander universities on the conditions of the Lebanese Diaspora and its genealogy.

يسعى هذا الكتاب لأن يكون سندًا للباحثين في مجال دراسة أحوال المهاجرين اللبنانيّين، ولاسيّما القاطنين في أستراليا ونيوزيلندا. فهو يقدّم للقارئ "ثبت مشروح" بأغلبية الكتابات التي صدرت في البلدين المذكورين حول بعض أوضاع المهاجرين اللبنانيّين. لذلك هو، يسهّل على الباحثين عمليّة انتقاء المراجع التي قد تفيد أبحاثهم، كما ويمكن استخدامه لتجديد المجالات غير المدروسة إلى الآن، والتي يمكن القيام بها لانتاج المزيد من المعرفة حول المهاجرين اللبنانيّين.
