Ikarians in South Australia, 1900-1945
This book looks at a little-researched diaspora, originating on the Greek Aegean Island of Ikaria. Ikaria, being a small, isolated island, close to the Turkish coast, had a long and independent history, with periods of autonomy, including the short-lived Free State of Ikaria in 1912, which was the outcome of the Ikarian Revolution against the Ottoman Empire. Ikarians remained quite insular until the nineteenth century, when they began emigrating to Ottoman port-cities and urban centres, as well as nearby Aegean islands. Eventually, they found themselves in growing hubs of migration such as Egypt and the United States. By 1910, the first Ikarians had arrived in Port Pirie, South Australia, be...

Australia, Migration and Empire
This edited collection explores how migrants played a major role in the creation and settlement of the British Empire, by focusing on a series of Australian case studies. Despite their shared experiences of migration and settlement, migrants nonetheless often exhibited distinctive cultural identities, which could be deployed for advantage. Migration established global mobility as a defining feature of the Empire. Ethnicity, class and gender were often powerful determinants of migrant attitudes and behaviour. This volume addresses these considerations, illuminating the complexity and diversity of the British Empire’s global immigration story. Since 1788, the propensity of the populations of Britain and Ireland to immigrate to Australia varied widely, but what this volume highlights is their remarkable diversity in character and impact. The book also presents the opportunities that existed for other immigrant groups to demonstrate their loyalty as members of the (white) Australian community, along with notable exceptions which demonstrated the limits of this inclusivity.

Redirecting Ethnic Singularity: Italian Americans and Greek Americans in Conversation contributes to U.S. ethnic and immigration studies by bringing into conversation scholars working in the fields of Italian American and Greek American studies in the United States, Europe, and Australia. The work moves beyond the “single group” approach—an approach that privileges the study of ethnic singularity––to explore instead two ethnic groups in relation to each other in the broa...
Researching Migration on Indigenous Lands
This open access edited collection provides an interdisciplinary assessment of research about migration on Indigenous lands. Via an assortment of critical reflections from settler colonial Australia, it identifies tensions between colonialism and Indigenous sovereignty as an increasingly salient topic of analysis within migration research. It poses challenges to migration research that takes place on Indigenous lands, reflects on the methodological and theoretical issues at play when studying migration in settler colonial Australia, and outlines potential pathways for ethical migration research agendas that genuinely engage with Indigenous knowledges and scholarship. The book also compares a...
