Summary/Abstract: The diverse aspects of writer-activist Musine Kokalari should make her a prominent figure in the history of 20th Century Albania. Her life and death are a mirror of the country’s possibilities and tragedies. But she was silenced during her lifetime, and the continued stifling of her legacy reflects a deeper discomfort about how we come to terms with the realities of the past. Novelist and historian Robert Wilton listens to her echoes.
