Overview
Focusing on the economic migration of Macedonian-speaking Muslims from North Macedonia to Italy, this study examines shifting everyday lives across transnational contexts. The title, Spaghetti with Ajvar serves as a metaphor for the immersion and mutual influence of cultural practices from the places of origin and settlement. Drawing on ethnographic research conducted between 2006 and 2014, with a return visit in 2022, it analyses migration experiences with particular attention to gender and intergenerational dynamics. Tracing translocal practices as they unfold over time, the book captures a specific moment in the lives of the Torbeši, reflecting both social change and the researcher’s own embodied experience.
