George Zangalis, advocate, unionist, multicultural champion takes a personal journey on the origins of his being, culture, identity, language and purpose in life. A must read of a generation who lived through wars, famine, deportation and exorcism from country of birth and one who did not gain Australian Citizenship for over 25 years after arriving on the shores of Australia in the depths of the White Australia Policy in 1950. 3 months travel on boat to a country he had maybe only ever heard of.
“The story of my mother could very well be the story of every mother who lived the tumultuous years of the German occupation, the Resistance and the civil war, with the persecutions, the enforced exiles and the yearning for the time the family would reunite in Greece, in a peaceful and just world,”
Bilingual book - both Greek and English - Translated by Konstandina Dounis.
