Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject explores the contribution of early migrants from Greece and Cyprus in particular, but also of other communities, to life in multicultural Australia. After an examination of the social, political and economic circumstances of the post-WWII era that prompted many of them to leave their homelands, their lives in their new country will be studied by using the primary sources contained in La Trobe University's "Dardalis Archives of the Hellenic Diaspora" (e.g., newspapers, photographs, letters, clothing and other personal items). The focus will be on themes such as Family, Employment, Education, Religion, Politics, Entertainment and Sport. Achievements in these spheres of activity will be compared with more recent developments. The resulting impact on the evolving identity of these migrants and their descendants will also be considered.
