Albanian-speaking transnational populations in Switzerland : continuities and shifts
| Résumé |
For more than four decades, Switzerland has been a primary
destination for the Albanian-speaking immigrants originating in
Kosovo, Macedonia, southern Serbia and Montenegro. Throughout this
time, migrants have continued to retain strong transnational links
with their areas of origin, which until the end of the 1990s meant
important economic and financial support, but also political
mobilization. Today, however, the diaspora is increasingly focused
on integration in Switzerland, a process which seems to be characterized by a redefinition of migrants’ transnational relations at the crossroad between the culture of the country of origin and that of destination. |
