Reviews

The book stands comfortably above disciplines to offer an excellent anthropological study of migration songs, based on a well-researched case study: Southern Albanian villages and the surrounding regions. - Zana Vathi, Edge Hill University, United Kingdom The book remains a valuable contribution to the scholarship on migration in South Alabania, and around the world. I would recommend it storngly to those interested in migration in general, and specifically the migration in contemporary Albania. - Islam Jusufi, Tirana The accompanying multimedia DVD containing both sound and video examples is excellent; it helps the reader by capturing the intricate and unique characteristics of this singing which no muscial transcription can fully do justice to. As such, this book should be valuable to scholars of migration studies, and anyone interested in the intersection between musical creativity and emotionally. - Philip Ciantar, University of Malta
