Beschreibung
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.
