Albanians who were not allowed to practice religion, travel abroad, wear jeans, or read decadent Western literature began to devour the outside world. They opened caf\u00E9s, companies, and newspapers. Previously banned rock music blared in the streets.\nModern Albania offers a vivid history of the Alba.
