countries of Southern Europe and the Balkans have historically
contributed large immigrant populations to industrialized nations.
However, with the fall of Communism and abolition of internal EU
borders many of these nations find themselves at the receiving end of
global migrations. Italy and Greece, for example, first faced the
bursting of the barriers of the Albanian Communist isolation and have
since become preferred destinations of global migrations. In the
Balkans most nations find themselves in the paradoxical situation —
while the domestic population is still leaving their fragile
economies, due to their affiliations with the EU they attract
considerable immigrant populations. Such migratory exchanges create a
climate relatively new to these cultures that used to define
themselves in terms of homogeneity and exclusivity.

While it may be too early to discuss established migrant or hybrid
cultures in these nations, we are interested in exploring the emerging
awareness and recognition of the newly created cultural situation. How
does the host culture respond to the presence of the immigrant, or is
their presence ignored and why? How visible are migrant authors on the
cultural scene of their chosen cultures? Who are their audiences? How
do they overcome the language barrier? We invite papers that present
the ways in which the cultural production in the region articulates
exile, immigrant and post-immigrant identities, negotiates racism and
prejudice, responds to ethnocentric homogeneity of host cultures,
overcomes linguistic barriers and reaches broader audiences (or not).
