Oakleigh is Our Life: Greek Settlement in Oakleigh explores why and when Oakleigh, in south-east Melbourne, was settled by migrants from Greece, and how they developed such a strong community, preserving their language, religion and culture. It highlights the courage of those who came to Australia for a new life and helps others to understand their experiences. The book draws upon interviews with families of Greek descent and upon studies and new research, and it blends personal and family stories with social trends.
