Forty Photographs
Documentary photographer Effy Alexakis accessed her vast archive on the Greek-Australian experience and selected one contemporary image to represent each year since 1982 in order to reveal the changing face of Greek-Australians. The resulting exhibition was displayed at the N. Smith Gallery in Paddington, Sydney, from 28 March to 3 April, 2022. Each photograph evidenced salient aspects or elements significant to the personal journey of the photographer and her evolving understanding of her community and heritage - both within Australia and overseas - and in so doing, provided a unique visual insight into the ongoing story of one of the most emblematic sociocultural groups within the flux and challenges of a contemporary multicultural society. This publication arises directly out of that exhibition.
The Heart of Giving
As a socio-cultural documentary photographer Effy Alexakis' intent is to engage the everyday - to seek, explore, reflect, consider, unravel, highlight and embrace what is seen and initially hidden. This book on Father Nektarios' lifelong work offers her personal insight and a respectful homage to the unselfish kindness expressed by a Greek Orthodox priest and his volunteers in Sydney's inner-western suburb of Newtown. All those in need of care and a meal are looked after, day after day, with dignity and sensitivity. Contextualising the broad array of photographic images are numerous interviews and observations.

Photographs and cultural history
Urban Food Culture
This book explores the food history of twentieth-century Sydney, Shanghai and Singapore within an Asian Pacific network of flux and flows. It engages with a range of historical perspectives on each city’s food and culinary histories, including colonial culinary legacies, restaurants, cafes, street food, market gardens, supermarkets and cookbooks, examining the exchange of goods and services and how the migration of people to the urban centres informed the social histories of the cities’ foodways in the contexts of culinary nationalism, ethnic identities and globalization. Considering the recent food history of the three cities and its complex narrative of empire, trade networks and migration patterns, this book discusses key aspects of each city’s cuisine in the twentieth century, examining the interwoven threads of colonialism and globalization.
In Their Own Image

Women in Ancient Egypt
Cutting-edge research by twenty-four international scholars on female power, agency, health, and literacy in ancient Egypt There has been considerable scholarship in the last fifty years on the role of ancient Egyptian women in society. With their ability to work outside the home, inherit and dispense of property, initiate divorce, testify in court, and serve in local government, Egyptian women exercised more legal rights and economic independence than their counterparts throughout antiquity. Yet, their agency and autonomy are often downplayed, undermined, or outright ignored. In Women in Ancient Egypt twenty-four international scholars offer a corrective to this view by presenting the lates...
Practicing Oral History with Immigrant Narrators
In addition to the problem of language, conducting oral histories with immigrant narrators often requires special considerations: past violence, cultural sensitivity, and lack of trust.

Images of Home
A project that traces the lives of migrants and returned migrants between Greece and Australia. The photographs and accompanying stories which are usually told in the words of the people involved, are taken from all walks of life from all over Greece and Australia. The stories are honest and often emotional and trace the difficulties of migration from those who assimilate easily, to those who move regularly between the two countries and those who returned to Greece. One of the authors is an historian and the other a photographer.
