'We are not Greek, but...': Dealing with the Greek-Albanian Border among Albanian-speaking Christians of Southern Albania

Résumé

This paper looks at the way Albanian-speaking Orthodox Christians from Lunxhëri, in Southern Albania cross the border with Greece. Based on narratives and family histories collected in 2001 and 2002, it relates the specific position of this community in the border area (Albanian but not Muslim, Orthodox Christian but not Greek) to the representations and symbolic perceptions of the border. It shows how the current crossings of the border are related to the maintaining and crossing of the ethnic boundary between Greeks and Albanians, but also between Albanians and Vlachs, and between Muslims and Christians.
