{"product_id":"community-and-identity-stephen-constantine-9780719080548","title":"Community and identity: The making of modern Gibraltar since 1704","description":"This fluent, accessible and richly informed study, based on much previously unexplored archival material, concerns the history of Gibraltar following its military conquest in 1704, after which sovereignty of the territory was transferred from Spain to Britain and it became a British fortress and colony. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUnlike virtually all other studies of Gibraltar, this book focuses on the civilian population. It shows how a substantial multi-ethnic Roman Catholic and Jewish population derived mainly from the littorals and islands of the Mediterranean became settled in British Gibraltar, much of it in defiance of British efforts to control entry and restrict residence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith Gibraltar's political future still today contested this is a matter of considerable political importance. 'Community and identity: The making of modern Gibraltar since 1704' will appeal to both a scholarly and a lay readership interested particularly in the 'Rock' or more generally in nationality and identity formation, colonial administration, decolonisation and the Iberian peninsula.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Constantine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0719080541\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719080548\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/18\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2010","brand":"Stephen Constantine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075393351935,"sku":"9780719080548","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_adb52823-d65c-4b34-b2dd-508e2daba7e7.jpg?v=1685459154","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/community-and-identity-stephen-constantine-9780719080548","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
