Chelsi West Ohueri

Chelsi West Ohueri, Assistant Professor at the University of Texas, dives into her groundbreaking work on race in Albania. She explores how historical contexts shape racial identities and perceptions, particularly in a post-communist landscape. The discussion covers the complexities of hospitality and its role in identity performance. Ohueri sheds light on the marginalization of the Roma and Egyptian communities, illustrating the ongoing relevance of racial dynamics in today’s Albania, all while challenging the Western-centric views of race.
