Synopsis

 

While the history of the Cold War and the history of immigration have both attracted scholarly attention, rarely have these two studies been brought together to explore immigrants to Australia from both the extreme left and right. Drawing on the case studies of Greek (left) and Russian (right) communities this research project will examine unexplored aspects of Cold War and immigration history by bringing insights from both bodies of work. One of these aspects is the role of the Orthodox Church in this context. By examining how the Church aligned itself politically and its role in promoting post-war political agendas this study will also extend new understandings of the role of religion in new immigrant communities.
