“I cried. What has been expressed in words by these people is exactly what I feel from within. Absolutely wonderful to see it all captured so brilliantly in pictures and words.”

“With tear-filled eyes I went from photo to photo, story to story and I relived the migration.”

“For the historian or social theorist, Images of Home is simultaneously: an archive; a way of visualising history, particularly migration history; an exercise in oral history; and an exploration of some troublesome concepts – identity for example – in social and political thought… Identity – that contemporary yearning to be both the specific and the same – is a treacherous and elusive thing, as this beautiful photographic essay adequately demonstrates... In the full scope of this book, ‘home’ is the metaphor used by the authors to refer to… a Greek-Australian identity that is unresolved and unresolvable, that slips and slides across the emotional and the geographic and across circumstance and history and imagining.”
