After the imposition of the communist regime in Albania, the Greeks living there became recipients of Enver Hoxha's policies, experienced control in all aspects of their lives, and suffered persecution.
This book describes the political, economic, and social environment in which the Greeks of Albania lived, and examines issues such as Greek education and the Orthodox religion in the area of the Greek minority.
Subsequently, the study at hand presents the policies of the Greek governments regarding the "Northern Epirus" issue. It also highlights the actions of the "Northern Epirus associations" in Greece, as well as the activities of the Panepirotic Federation of America in the diaspora, whose goal was the strong support for Greek claims in Albania.
The Greek minority constituted a "national issue" for Greece and played a crucial role in shaping Greek-Albanian relations. A calm reading of the past can contribute to understanding the issues currently concerning the two neighboring countries, as after the end of the Cold War, Greek-Albanian relations were redefined and the status of the Greek minority was brought into discussion, both politically and socially.
