This book examines the ways in which Albanian men, women, and families who have migrated from Montenegro and Kosovo to the United States understand and make sense of their mobility and settlement.

Drawing on empirical research, including interview material, it goes beyond the experiences of individual migrants to explore the role that cultural identity has in shaping their mobility and immobility, with particular attention to the manner in which subjects talk about their experiences in terms of past and present movements and moments.

An original storytelling study of the meaning, scope, and outcomes of mobility, and the construction of home and identity on the part of migrants, this title will appeal to scholars of sociology, geography, anthropology, and politics with interests in migration and diaspora.

Klement R. Camaj, PhD, is a lecturer of social sciences and public administration at the University of the West of Scotland.

His research focus is mainly located within the connected fields of migration studies and transnationalism, with a special interest in diaspora and cultural identity issues. Klement's main strengths consist of qualitative and multidisciplinary work, using ethnographic, narrative, and multimethodological approaches towards data collection and analysis.
