Social Reproduction Through Work and Coffee
Liridona Sijarina

The monograph Social Reproduction Through Work and Coffee: A Study of Rural Women's Labor and Sociability Before, During, and After the War in Kosovo by Liridona Sijarina examines the organization of labor and social rituals among rural women in Kosovo. Through personal narratives and theoretical insights, the work highlights how war and neoliberalism have shaped the experiences of older women, positioning them as marginalized and economically non-viable subjects. Published in Albanian, the monograph combines feminist perspectives on labor and development, inviting readers to reflect on the socio-economic and cultural transformations affecting rural women in Kosovo. The book launch featured a public discussion with Luljeta Demolli, Kaltrina Krasniqi, Bjeshkë Guri, and the author, engaging with themes of labor, gender, and rural life.
