Book

All cats are beautiful

The book constitutes an autobiographical narrative that explores the experience of intersecting identities and cultural entrapment, through the lens of migration and the quest for belonging. Through personal testimonies, it reveals the sociopolitical mechanisms of categorization, stigmatization, and the construction of national and cultural otherness within the Greek, Albanian, Cypriot, and broader European contexts. The text articulates a critical approach to the notion of normativity and highlights the fluidity and performativity of identity, raising questions about social inclusion, the persistence of labeling, and the desire for recognition.
