Household and Family in the Balkans

On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the foundation of the 'Balkan Family History Project' at the University of Graz in 1993, this volume unites the most outstanding essays of the project members that have appeared over the course of the previous two decades, scattered in various journals and books. They cover the interval from the 19th to the 21st century and reflect the current status of Balkan family research in historical, anthropological and demographical perspectives.
