Abstract
The major theme of this paper is the migration from the small Cycladic island of Nisos (a pseudonym) to Athens by a largely male population seeking employment in the building trades. The first part of this article describes the depopulating of Nisos in the context of Greek rural depopulation, migration within and from Greece, and the growth of Athens. The second part '…gives an account of the involvement of Nisiot migrants in the building trade as workmen, subcontractors and property-owners, and discusses the tensions which have arisen between members of old-established migrant families and more recent migrants enriched by the building boom' (p. 263).
