Description

This collection of papers on contemporary scholarship on various issues in Albanian history and anthropology covers a broad range of approaches and forms of analysis. It includes research on parts of the country that have rarely made an appearance in international scholarship, including recent research on various aspects of urban life in Albania, several chapters being set in Shkodra, Tirana, Elbasan and Gjirokastra. Issues of local self-organisation or identity processes are done justice to as well. A third core aspect that the volume addresses is the continued analysis of new and revealing demographic sources that shed light on the structure and history of the Albanian family.
