HELLENIC DREAMING Greek-Australian Stories (Book)
About
The Greek migrant experience is part of Australia’s modern history, a successful chapter in the overall multicultural story of this nation. Our community has integrated well into the social fabric and is now multi-generational. And as the older generation fades away a very distinct Greek-Australian hybrid culture is emerging.It’s an identity that’s been blended by time and intermarriage, opportunity and ambition – often shaped by where in Australia the new arrivals first called home, be it old inner-city suburbs close to the factories, or running cafes in remote country towns.
The 35 contributors to this volume reflect the arc of this Greek- Australian experience, ranging in age from early 20s through to 70s. Some were born in Greece, with vivid memories of the migration journey. Others are the children of migrants, raised within strict traditional family guidelines, long after such restrictions were largely abandoned back in the homeland. Then there are the grandchildren of migrants
