Greek Australians in their own image: Deserted homes

Research output: Contribution to Newspaper/Magazine/Website › Article

Abstract

Migration as a two way process, not always about the country people migrated to, but what became of the places they left behind. Greek migration to Australia from the late 19th century through to the late 20th century resulted in the creation of 'deserted villages' in Greece. Chain migration ensured that whole families left for 'a better life', depopulating villages and placing them on the edge of extinction.
