Reviews
'By taking on the nexus between migration, gender and development King and Vullnetari make an original, compelling and much-needed contribution to the field of migration studies. This book is a unique combination of a detailed and in-depth examination of the Albanian migration context and broader analyses of key dynamics and aspects shaping contemporary migration flows. By addressing the delicate interplay between multilayered socio-economic and geopolitical spaces and the micro politics of family and individual survival, King and Vullnetari's contribution will undoubtedly become a reference text in relation to Albania and the unfolding of migration dynamics more generally.' - Dr Nick Mai, Reader in Migration Studies, Institute for the Study of European Transformations (ISET), London Metropolitan University
