Beschreibung
Since the demise of Communism, Albanians are extremely
exposed to the forces of the liberal market economy and the
turbulence of globalisation. No other country in the region
has experienced such tremendous social and economic
transformations. The contributions in this volume tackle
important areas of change from contemporary and historical
perspectives. They focus on political, legal and
administrative dimensions, on various effects of migration,
on changing family and kinship relations, and on the
transformation of gender positions.
Robert Pichler is historical anthropologist
and photographer at the Center for Southeast European
History and Anthropology at the University of Graz. He
teaches at the Universities of Vienna and Graz.
