In Between The Seas, Deborah Paci takes a comparative view of
insularity in island identities through case studies of islands in
the Baltic and Mediterranean Seas. These case studies include, in
the Baltic case, Gotland, Saaremaa and Hiiumaa; and in the
Mediterranean case, Sicily, Sardinia, Malta and Corsica. Examining
multiple sites of these islands' identities such as history,
environmental concerns and governance systems, this study provides
a historical perspective into the relations between islands and the
larger geopolitical regions around them as well as historicizing
"insularist" rhetoric deployed by pro-independence groups within
them. Paci examines the changing role and increasing political
importance of islands in the European Union against the history of
island insularity and offers a significant contribution to the
wider field of island studies.
