The Albanians \u2013 Christians and Muslims alike \u2013 in the Balkans, are a people of great interest, not just within the context of the Ottoman period, but also during the following one, when Southeastern Europe began to break up into nation-states. A major part of the bibliography and the historiographical production perceived the Albanians through the Hederian narratives of the 20th century. Though, a different approach towards the Albanians can be achieved in a transnational context as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Balkan History Association is preparing a volume which investigates how these communities in the Balkans were understood and perceived. Authors are invited to submit book chapters dealing with the following topics: Balkan historiographies and national narratives on the Albanians; Albanians in the Ottoman Empire: national and transnational narratives, Albanians and the Age of Revolutions in the Balkans; Albanian minorities as a marker of diplomacy in the 20th century; Ethnic Albanians in the Balkan states and aspects of their history; Social and economic topics in the history of these ethnic Albanians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
