Book Synopsis Women in Modern Albania by : Susan E. Pritchett Post
Download or read book Women in Modern Albania written by Susan E. Pritchett Post and published by McFarland. This book was released on 1998 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upon her arrival in Tirana, Albania, in April 1994, the author found a city unlike any other she had experienced. Rotting trash was piled in the center of the streets, animals shared the rutted roads with cars, and housing, when it could be found, was crowded and crumbling. But she found a people full of optimism, particularly the women. Despite the subservient role forced by tradition on nearly all Albanian women, they have increasingly become the foundation upon which the country exists. Not only are they responsible for caring for extended households, these women are now also becoming vital parts of the country's economy. Most importantly, however, they maintain a faith in Albania that belies the country's turbulent past and widely predicted future. Through interviews with over 200 Albanian women, this work is an insightful, often poignant, look at a country that remains a mystery to most in the West.

Download or read book Modern Albania written by Fred Abrahams and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1990s, Albania, arguably Europe’s most closed and repressive state, began a startling transition out of forty years of self-imposed Communist isolation. Albanians who were not allowed to practice religion, travel abroad, wear jeans, or read “decadent” Western literature began to devour the outside world. They opened cafés, companies, and newspapers. Previously banned rock music blared in the streets. Modern Albania offers a vivid history of the Albanian Communist regime’s fall and the trials and tribulations that led the country to become the state it is today. The book provides an in-depth look at the Communists' last Politburo meetings and the first student revolts, the fall of the Stalinist regime, the outflows of refugees, the crash of the massive pyramid-loan schemes, the war in neighboring Kosovo, and Albania’s relationship with the United States. Fred Abrahams weaves together personal experience from more than twenty years of work in Albania, interviews with key Albanians and foreigners who played a role in the country’s politics since 1990—including former Politburo members, opposition leaders, intelligence agents, diplomats, and founders of the Kosovo Liberation Army—and a close examination of hundreds of previously secret government records from Albania and the United States. A rich, narratively-driven account, Modern Albania gives readers a front-row seat to the dramatic events of the last battle of Cold War Europe.

Book Synopsis Women, Migration and Gendered Experiences by : Ermira Danaj
Download or read book Women, Migration and Gendered Experiences written by Ermira Danaj and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-09 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book focuses on Albanian internal and international female migration and places gender at the heart of postsocialist transformation. It explores the vulnerabilities that arise for female citizens from the contradictory policies produced by the Albanian state. By illuminating the intersection of gender and migration, it shows how Albanian women are likely to embed themselves in complex social relations and migration trajectories. By focusing on various cases – internal, international, return, economic and student female migrants – the book underlines that migration does not follow any kind of evolutionary development, according to which women go from 'traditional’ to ‘modern' gender relations. By providing a compelling account on the complex negotiations and tactics women employ to deal with gender inequalities, this book leads to a better understanding of gender and migration entanglements. It is a useful read to students, academics in migration and gender studies as well as social scientists and policy-makers in European countries.

Download or read book My Life written by Sevasti Kyrias Dako and published by . This book was released on 2016-10-23 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sevasti Kyrias-Dako, known in Albanian as Sevasti Qiriazi, was the first Albanian girl to receive a higher education. She grew up in Monastir (Bitola), Macedonia, attended Protestant mission schools in Monastir and Istanbul, then went to Korca, Albania in 1891 to help establish the Albanian Girls' School with her brother Gerasim. She taught the Albanian language in the face of strong opposition. She witnessed Albania's progression from its last years under Ottoman rule, to independence and successive governments, and through world wars and occupations, until the beginning of the communist era. She wrote her memoirs in English but they were never published until 2016. This title is part of the 500/200 Albanian Protestant Commemorative Series. Historical Reviews: "In telling the story of the Kyrias sisters, we are telling the story of the educational movement in Albania, a story of achievement and romance." -HESTER JENKINS, educator and biographer "Never should we deny or forget the great service done by a 'national nest' that became a hub and a fortress where national feelings and sparks both gathered and spread. This "nest" was the Girls' School in Kortcha." -MIHAL GRAMENO, Albanian writer, publisher, and warrior "The school of the Kyrias sisters has elevated us in the eyes of the world as people of progress for the Albanian Idea. It revived the idealism of our Renaissance. Among Albanian mothers, the school awakened feelings for the preservation of our nation, as Carmen Sylvia has expressed so well: 'The woman weaves the future of the nation.'" -ASDRENI, Albanian poet, patriot, and author of the Albanian -national anthem "One of the first apostles of the Albanian language who embraced the holy but extremely dangerous idea of writing the Albanian language within Albania.... When we speak of her bold actions, brave resistance, and unrivaled patriotic service, the name of Miss Sevasti Kyrias is revered as a heroine." -PANDELI EVANGJELI, two-time prime minister of Albania "Pure inspiration, poetry and song. Sevasti's work is a call to the younger generation. It is the symbol of liberty and progress. It is a call to restore Albania's honor to new heights, as every Albanian employs their knowledge and efforts so that Albania may one day be listed among the most developed European nations." -DHIMITER DISHNICA, Albanian scholar, in "Motrat Qiriazi" ("The Kyrias Sisters")

Download or read book Girl of Kosovo written by Alice Mead and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR). This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A child's perspective on war. In 1998 the Serb military intensifies its efforts to expel Albanians from Kosovo. Ethnic cleansing forces many families to seek safety in the surrounding hills and mountains. The Kosovo Liberation Army fights back guerrilla style, struggling for an independent Kosovo. Some Albanian villagers support the freedom fighters. Others fear that armed resistance, which they have successfully avoided through long years of Serb repression, will only increase the death toll. And always there is terrible tension between Serbian and Albanian neighbors who once were friends. Eleven-year-old Zana Dugolli, an Albanian Kosovar, isn't sure what to think. She does know not to speak her language to Serbs. And every day she worries about her mother and father, her brothers, the farm, the apple orchard. Already she has lost her best friend, a Serb. Then Zana's village is shelled, and her worst nightmare is realized. Her father and two brothers are killed in the attack, and her leg is shattered by shrapnel. Alone in a Serb hospital, she remembers her father's words: "Don't let them fill your heart with hate." Based on a true story, Alice Mead's stark, affecting novel about a place and conflict she knows well will help young readers understand the war in Kosovo.
