Albanian migration to Greece: a known – unknown story

This podcast explores a conversation between Manos Avgeridis and Ervin Sechou, focusing on the Albanian immigrant experience in Greece over the past three decades. Ervin, a first-generation immigrant and social scientist, provides insights derived from his extensive research and personal experiences as detailed in his book, “The Uninvited Guests: Autoethnographic and Historical Notes on Thirty Years of Albanian Immigration to Greece” (Isnafi, 2021). The discussion delves into the significant impact of Albanian immigration on Greek social reality, contrasting the commonly cited narrative of successful integration with the nuanced complexities of the immigrant experience. It raises questions about societal understanding and the depth of scholarly research concerning Albanian immigrants’ survival practices and choices, challenging stereotypical perceptions prevalent in public discourse.
