This monograph examines the case of Albanian migration in Greece from the early 1990s to the present, focusing on the Albanian immigrant family. In particular, the focus is on how all these years Albanian migrants constantly define and redefine their migratory plans and strategies; how household patterns, gender and intergenerational family relationships and balances change; how co-ethnic migratory networks are constructed, altered and reinterpreted by the migrants; and finally, what is the role of both the wider economic, social, cultural context and new communication technologies in shaping the migratory process and experience. This text is an attempt to discuss the empirical material which comes from the researches I have conducted on Albanian migration, with the new theoretical approaches on transnational migration - and in particular on transnational immigrant families - as well as with the Greek and international literature on the characteristics of modern Albanian migration.
