This book is an ethnographic and historical study of the main
Albania-Greece highway. But more than an ethnography on the road,
it is an anthropology of the road. Highways are part of an explicit
cultural-material nexus that includes houses, urban architecture
and vehicles. Complex socio-political phenomena such as EU border
security, nationalist politics, post-Cold War capitalism and
financial crises all leave their mark in the concrete. This book
explores anew classical anthropological and sociological categories
of analysis in direct reference to infrastructure, providing unique
insights into the political and cultural processes that took place
across Europe after the Cold War. More specifically, it sheds light
on political and economic relationships in the Balkans during the
socialist post-Cold War period, focusing especially on Albania, one
of the most under-researched countries in the region. -- .
