Face Up. Faces from the past.
The fight for freedom and democracy in Albania during the regime of Enver Hoxha

Edited by
Michele Rabà - Gaetano Sabatini

The essays collected in the present issue of RiMe bear exemplary witness to this particularly important and fruitful moment of cultural relations between Italy and Albania on the theme of shared historical memory: they are first and foremost the results of the research activity carried out as part of “Face Up. Faces from the past. The fight for freedom and democracy during the regime of Hoxha”, a project funded by the EU within the program “Europe for Citizens, Line 1 - European Remembrance (2019-2022)” which had as partners of CNR ISEM for the Italian side the Department of Psychology of Sapienza University of Rome and the Fondazione di Storia onlus of Vicenza , and for the Albanian side the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Tirana and the Association "Zeri Qytetar - The Voice of the Citizen".

These essays have the aim of carrying out a careful reconstruction of the historical context in which to situate the experience of the internment camps of the communist regime in Albania, a political but also economic and social reconstruction, which also goes so far as to represent the historical phase of Albania's exit from dictatorship and its gradual return to democracy and to the natural geopolitical context of belonging.
