In the mid-nineteenth century, as European navies learned to
neutralize piracy, new patterns of circulation and settlement
became possible in the western Mediterranean. The Deepest Border
tells the story of how a borderland society formed around the
Strait of Gibraltar, bringing historical perspective to one of the
contemporary world's critical border zones. Drawing on primary and
secondary research from Spain, France, Gibraltar, and
Morocco—including military intelligence files, public health
reports, consular correspondence, and travel diaries—Sasha D.
Pack draws out parallels and connections often invisible to
national and mono-imperial histories. In conceptualizing the Strait
of Gibraltar region as a borderland, Pack reconsiders a number of
the region's major tensions and conflicts, including the Rif
Rebellion, the Spanish Civil War, the European phase of World War
II, the colonization and decolonization of Morocco, and the ongoing
controversies over the exclaves of Gibraltar, Ceuta, and Melilla.
Integrating these threads into a long history of the region, The
Deepest Border speaks to broad questions about how sovereignty
operates on the "periphery," how borders are constructed and
maintained, and the enduring legacies of imperialism and
colonialism.
