The "British in Spain" achieved notoriety during the 1980s. As a
group they were stereotyped as being made up of exiled criminals,
drunken hooligans and inward looking pensioners - unwelcome
colonisers reconstructing their own insular "little England".
Presenting a more complex picture, this book-length ethnography of
the British expatriate community draws on history, social
geography, tourism studies, and theories of ethnicity and community
to frame detailed interviews with British migrants themselves. What
emerges is an account of who migrates, their reasons for migration
and the day to day realities of expatriate life. Whilst Britons
migrating to Spain have not integrated into their host communities,
neither have they colonised swathes of the Spanish coast. The
author presents instead a marginal group occupying a liminal space
between two countries and two cultures. It should appeal to social
anthropologists and sociologists as well as to the general reader.
