The discussion of the theoretical framework includes an analysis of migration and social mobility, defining and placing both within socio-economic and socio- historical contexts. The interdisciplinary approach cuts across the fields of political economy, sociology, politics, law and demography. The study draws from both Weberian and Marxist traditions in order to offer the most comprehensive testing possible of the empirical analysis of the immigrant experience. As argued in Chapter 2, as a theoretical study this thesis seeks to determine the causes of present Greek-Australian social mobility and related traits, in terms of pre-migration, migration-settlement and post-migration socio-economic experience. Chapter 3 discusses the methods employed in the thesis; these include an empirical inquiry based on a questionnaire surveys, detailed personal interviews, and other primary sources for the trends and variables in social mobility such as Australian Bureau of Statistics data. To comprehend the values and cultural features which contributed to the decision to migrate, Chapter 4 examines the symbols of Hellenic national identity derived from a mythical past, including symbols and legends that have continued to shape everyday human interaction to the present. Within this framework, the dissertation outlines the outstanding features of the typologies of migration, from the pioneer settlers of the mid-to the late-Nineteenth Century through to the inter-war period. It includes biographical accounts of the "scouts" who pioneered Hellenic settlement in Australia, as well as of those who came after the initiation of chain migration from Greece. It examines in detail the socio­ economic development of the Hellenic Nation State, as both a cause and effect of mass out-migration fix>m Greece to America and Australia over the past cenmry. It indicates how the major factors of economic under-development and under­ employment forced Greeks to abandon their rural and farming communities, choosing first urbanisation then mass out-migration. It analyses Australia's history, its socio-historical development, and how its changing immigration policies affected public attitudes both before and after WWII. It focuses on the attitudes of Australian public towards the settlement of non-British migrants. The thesis argues that until multiculturalism was established, Southern Europeans experienced the closure to them of social structures, and that the general unreadiness by the host society resulted in its failure to capitalise on the skills and initiatives of Greeks from the late 1800s to tiie 1970s when multiculturalism was implemented. The chapter based on empirical investigation employed the SPSS-X statistical package to analyse data gathered from the field survey. The findings show that change of residential area in relation to economic mobility was statistically significant and that immigrants' willingness to return home was either postponed or became a merely personal matter krespective of economic gains. Occupational and accompanying economic upward mobility were found to have a statistically high relationship to party political affiliation in that length of time in Australia was seen to be influenced by employment and economic status. Finally, after considering a number of diacritical indicators relating to the forces of migration, post-migration experiences and social mobility of Greek Australians, the thesis presents reflections on the results of the research and delineates various suggestions for future research.

  • Hellenes in Western Australia: a Century of Changing Relations, Responses and Contribution
    Title: Hellenes in Western Australia: A century of changing relations, responses and contribution. Presenter: Dr John Yiannakis Organisation: University of Western Australia Australia was a society that dreaded the “mixing of races” and was obsessed with protecting racial purity. Such sentiments were well expressed by Western Australia’s Premier John Forrest who, in 1897, concluded debate about his state’s Immigration Restriction Bill by saying “we desire to restrict this country, so that it shall not be over-run with races whose sympathies, and manners and customs, are not as ours.”1 Forrest, like other colonial leaders forging the new Commonwealth of Australia, wanted the nation, and his state, to remain British, Protestant and white; a desire enshrined in the legislation that became known as the White Australia Policy. While this policy was aimed primarily at prohibiting the entry of Asians and non-Europeans to Australia, it also made it difficult for non-British Europeans to enter. For early 20th century Australia an “olive peril” was almost as threatening as the yellow one. In the coming years, government policy towards Hellenic (Greek) arrivals would fluctuate. Restrictions and quotas would be imposed, only to be disregarded, and then observed stringently. The fear and contempt held by Anglo-Australians for most Greeks and other southern Europeans intensified as their numbers increased. Verbal and physical abuses were common forms of antagonism. Overseas and Australian born Greeks, pre and post 1945, had to endure a seemingly endless list of derogatory names. Anti-foreign sentiment was prevalent throughout society. Even the local schoolyard could be a place perpetuating bigotry and division.

  • 7- Chapter 1: Migration of Greeks to Australia: an Historical Overview
    -7- CHAPTER 1: MIGRATION OF GREEKS TO AUSTRALIA: AN HISTORICAL OVERVIEW Poised on the edge of two worlds, the migrant continues to search for a sense of belonging Liz Thompson. The thrust of the thesis will be the study of the life of Greek migrants who came to Australia with professional qualifications. Being migrants themselves, they were subjected to the same sociopolitical and cultural situations which pre y filed in Australia at the time of their migration, in a way similar to the majority of ordinary migrants. The expectations of professional migrants in AL stralia were different to those of non-professional Greek migrants and although they were both foreigners in a foreign environment, each of the two groups reacted differently to the social pressures, as will be seen from the information collected in the interviews and published literature. With the exception of some statistical data and information on qualifications published by the Government', there is hardly any other documented information available on professional Greek migrants in Australia. As a consequence, this chapter will attempt to provide an overview of those areas which correspond to the situations faced by Greek professional migrants in Australia. Australia has historically been a nation of migrants who., as a whole, speak more than 100 languages and dialects with people coming from many countries of the world. The Australian culture which originally developed on the attitudes of the then British dominated population, was far different from the cultural diversity of the Australian society as it has developed since the Second World War'. These changes have been the result of a huge migration program and the role played by the multicultural policies of successive Australian governments, which have modified social attitudes during the past two decades.

  • Current Trends of the Linguistic and Cultural Values of the Greek Australian Community in South Australia
    International Education Journal Vol 4, No 4, 2004 Educational Research Conference 2003 Special Issue http://iej.cjb.net 212 Current Trends of the Linguistic and Cultural Values of the Greek Australian Community in South Australia Alexandra Holeva Adelaide University [email protected] The paper investigates the perspectives of Greek origin people as regards their intention to maintain their ancestral culture within the Australian context of social values. This qualitative research study, influenced by Humanistic Sociology, analyses data collected through questionnaires from first and second generation parents and teachers of high school students, and identifies a shift in the cultural values of the Greek community in South Australia towards an equilibrium of shared Greek- Australian values. The researcher aims to demonstrate that Greek origin parents, educated in Australia, have incorporated social and cultural values of the dominant culture in their ancestral cultural system and proceeded to the creation of a new personal and ethnic group cultural system, which allows them to maintain a dual identity. This shift, indicative of the need to capture the advantages both cultural identities offer, emerges the logical question: What is the cultural prognosis for the third generation descendents of the Greek Migrants? Greek migrants, language, education, assimilation CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK AND RELATED LITERATURE Research about Greek migrants in an Australian and South Australia school context in particular appears to be limited. The major research efforts were conducted during the early 1970s to the late 1980s, an era, which saw interest in multiculturalism at its strongest. During this time the Australians of second generation Greek origin saw themselves evolving from a marginalized social status and sense of being a so-called ‘ignorant migrant’ to having a prominent status arising out of a strong ethnic community.

  • Morbidity Mortality Paradox of 1St Generation Greek Australians
    Asia Pacific J Clin Nutr (2002) 11(Suppl): S569–S575 S569 Original Article Morbidity mortality paradox of 1st generation Greek Australians Antigone Kouris-Blazos PhD, APD There is evidence in Australia that 1st generation Greek Australians (GA), despite their high prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors (e.g. obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, smoking, hypertension, sedentary lifestyles) continue to display more than 35% lower mortality from CVD and overall mortality compared with the Australian-born after at least 30 years in Australia. This has been called a ‘morbidity mortality paradox’ or ‘Greek-migrant paradox’. Retrospective data from elderly Greek migrants participating in the International Union of Nutrition Sciences Food Habits in Later Life (FHILL) study suggests that diets changed on migration due to the: (i) lack of familiar foods in the new environment; (ii) abundant and cheap animal foods (iii) memories of hunger before migration; and (iv) status ascribed to energy dense foods (animal foods, white bread and sweets) and ‘plumpness’ as a sign of affluence and plant foods (legumes, vegetable dishes, grainy bread) and ‘thinness’ as a sign of poverty. This apparently resulted in traditional foods (e.g. olive oil) being replaced with ‘new’ foods (e.g. butter), ‘traditional’ plant dishes being made more energy dense, larger serves of animal foods, sweets and fats being consumed, and increased frequency of celebratory feasts. This shift in food pattern contributed to significant weight gain in GA. Despite these potentially adverse changes, data from Greece in the 1960s (seven countries study) and from Australia in the 1990s (FHILL study) has shown that Greek migrants have continued to eat large serves of putatively protective foods (leafy vegetables, onions, garlic, tomatoes, capsicum, lemon juice, herbs, legumes, fish) prepared according to Greek cuisine (e.g.
