Gjakmarrja:Albanian Highlander's Social Obligation

Recently, Diana Gellçi - an Albanian anthropologist with relations to the Albanian Institute for International Studies in Tirana - published an essay on the Albanian »Blood Feud«. The focus is on the content and impact of the old customary law – known as the kanún - in Northern Albania and Kosova. To foreign readers with some knowledge of Albanian history and social life in the Northern highlands it is a good companion - maybe an eye-opener too.
