Dr. Nelia Hyndman-Rizik’s research specialty is the Lebanese Diaspora. Her doctorate examined migration from the village of Hadchit in North Lebanon to
America and Australia and the transformation of gender roles and cultural identity. Her current research, with the Federation of Ethnic Communities’ Councils of Australia, is in migrant health, working with Arabic speaking and new and emerging communities in Australia.
The first volume of the migration and the Arab World series dealt primarily with the trends in, consequences of, and policy responses to labor migration in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states since the “oil boom” period of the 1970s. This volume focuses on the countries of the Mashreq (i.e., Egypt and the Levant) as source and destination countries for various migrant groups, dating from the late 19th century up to the present day.
