'This chapter aims to delineate an approach to the Eastern Mediterranean as a location for intellectual and ideological movements, as well as historical events, that impinged on, and to a large extent, shaped the early life and thinking of an historical subject, Alekos Doukas who emigrated to Australia from Greece in 1927. [...] This exercise in discursive history and biographical narrative may help us grasp the apparent contradictions and paradoxes that mark the entry point of such a subject into White Australia in the late 1920s, another important intersection of tangential but related discourses of a dominant white colonial society and the Greek diaspora in the antipodes.' [pp. 139, 140]
