Description vi, 114 leaves ; 30 cm Summary Focuses on the themes and preoccupations in Greek-Australian literature that reflect the influence of Australia on the traditional sense of identity of Greek migrants. Predominant concerns connected with identity are those of nostalgic references to the homeland, feelings of alienation and discrimination. These themes are related to what is recognised in life and in literature as "xenitia". Second generation writers reveal an acceptance of belonging to two cultures and having dual identities Notes Submitted to the School of Literary and Communication Studies of the Faculty of Arts, Deakin University Thesis (M.A.)--Deakin University, Victoria, 1998 Bibliography Bibliography: leaves 109-114 Subject Australian literature -- Greek authors.
