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. Unlike 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. With 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.
