Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

The continuing story of Victoria's Albanian community.

Exploring the story of Victoria's Albanian community, this exhibition focuses on the struggles of families separated for up to 40 years by Albania's Communist rule.

For Australian-Albanians, an important moment in the formation of a community was the transformation from the traditional notion of kurbet (temporary settlement in a foreign land) into a place of permanent belonging.

Coming from an ethnically diverse nation, Albanian immigrants have quietly established flourishing communities in multicultural Australia as part of their continuing journey. (Immigration Museum)
