Beschreibung
This book offers a wide-range perspective
covering demographic, family, urban and social
transformations of the Albanian city of Shkodra during the
interwar period. The topics discussed in the book are also
related to the so-called process of ‘modernisation’ and
‘westernisation’ of a newly created state of Albania (1912).
They include demography, census data, family structure,
marriage patterns as well as cityscape and spatial layout
and urban life. It gives insights into Shkodra’s urban
transformation, how the urban pattern differed from the
Ottoman model, and the question of its continuity.
Enriketa Pandelejmoni is a historian at the
Department of History, University of Tirana. Her research
interests include contemporary history of Albania, social
history, gender, communism and memory.
