In this monograph, the case of Albanian immigration in Greece from the early 1990s to the present day is examined, with a focus on the Albanian immigrant family. Specifically, the central focus is on how over the years individuals constantly define and redefine their migration plans and strategies; how household structures, gender and intergenerational family relationships and dynamics change; how ethnic migration networks are formed and reformed, leading individuals who are part of them to reassess their relationships; and finally, what role both the broader economic, social, cultural context and new communication technologies play in shaping the migration process and experience.  

This text is an attempt to engage the empirical material, derived from the research I have conducted on Albanian immigration, with new theoretical approaches to contemporary international migration - particularly international migration families - as well as with Greek and international literature on the characteristics of contemporary Albanian immigration.
