| Summary: | In the early 1990s, Albania, arguably Europe's most closed and repressive state, began a startling transition out its self-imposed communist isolation. Albanians who were not allowed to practice religion, travel abroad, wear jeans or read 'decadent' Western literature began to devour the outside world. Men grew their hair below their shoulders and women rediscovered cosmetics. Previously banned rock music blared in the streets. 'Modern Albania' offers a vivid history of the Albanian communist regime's fall and the trials and tribulations that led the country to become the state it is today. |
