Elife Krasniqi is an anthropologist and writer. She has researched the changes and continuities within Albanian families, the patriarchal system, and feminist responses from the mid-20th century to the early 21st century in Kosovo. Her current research focuses on the Black African presence in the Balkans (the lineage of Ottoman domestic slavery), analyzing the intersection of gender, race, and class in their everyday lives from a visual perspective since the late 19th century.
