Prevented from leaving their country for over 45 years, the citizens of the Republic of Albania emigrated en masse during the 1990s and the exodus continues. According to the 2001 census, one in five Albanians was a migrant living abroad, mainly in Greece and Italy but also, and increasingly, in a range of other European countries and in North America. The volume's contributors comprise key researchers on Albanian migration from around the world. The book will reflect the wide diversity of disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches deployed by researchers studying this phenomenon.
