Its strategic location and prominence have attracted the attention of many civilisations, past and present, giving rise to the rich history and popularity of ‘The Rock’. In addition to its geographical importance, Gibraltar is just as impressive from a naturalist’s perspective. It boasts many terrestrial and marine species, most of which are protected under the Nature Protection Act 1991, Gibraltar’s pioneering nature conservation legislation. Gibraltar’s climate is Mediterranean, with mild, sometimes wet winters and warm, dry summers. Its terrain includes a narrow coastal lowland to the west, bordering the 426 metre high Rock of Gibraltar. With a terrestrial area of 6.53 km2 and territorial waters extending up to three nautical miles to the east and south and up to the median line in the Bay of Gibraltar, it is of no surprise that Gibraltar’s biological resources are inevitably limited.

  • Multiculturalism in the Creation of a Gibraltarian Identity
    canessa 6 13/07/2018 15:33 Page 102 Chapter Four ‘An Example to the World!’: Multiculturalism in the Creation of a Gibraltarian Identity Luis Martínez, Andrew Canessa and Giacomo Orsini Ethnicity is an essential concept to explain how national identities are articulated in the modern world. Although all countries are ethnically diverse, nation-formation often tends to structure around discourses of a core ethnic group and a hegemonic language.1 Nationalists invent a dominant – and usually essentialised – narrative of the nation, which often set aside the languages, ethnicities, and religious beliefs of minori- ties inhabiting the nation-state’s territory.2 In the last two centuries, many nation-building processes have excluded, removed or segregated ethnic groups from the national narrative and access to rights – even when they constituted the majority of the population as in Bolivia.3 On other occasions, the hosting state assimilated immigrants and ethnic minorities, as they adopted the core-group culture and way of life. This was the case of many immigrant groups in the USA, where, in the 1910s and 1920s, assimilation policies were implemented to acculturate minorities, ‘in attempting to win the immigrant to American ways’.4 In the 1960s, however, the model of a nation-state as being based on a single ethnic group gave way to a model that recognised cultural diver- sity within a national territory. The civil rights movements changed the politics of nation-formation, and many governments developed strate- gies to accommodate those secondary cultures in the nation-state. Multiculturalism is what many poly-ethnic communities – such as, for instance, Canada and Australia – used to redefine their national identi- ties through the recognition of internal cultural difference.

Departamento de Filología Inglesa. Facultad de Filología. Plaza de Anaya s/n. 37008 Salamanca. Spain. E-mail: [email protected] ORCID: 0000-0001-9830-638X Received: 30/01/2017. Accepted 25/02/2017 How to cite this article: Manzanas Calvo, Ana Mª “The Line and the Limit of Britishness: The Construction of Gibraltarian Identity in M. G. Sanchez’s Writing.” ES Review. Spanish Journal of English Studies 38 (2017): 27‒45. DOI: https://doi.org/ 10.24197/ersjes.38.2017.27-45 Abstract: From Anthony Burgess’s musings during the Second World War to recent scholarly assessments, Gibraltar has been considered a no man’s literary land. However, the Rock has produced a steady body of literature written in English throughout the second half of the twentieth century and into the present. Apparently situated in the midst of two identitary deficits, Gibraltarian literature occupies a narrative space that is neither British nor Spanish but something else. M. G. Sanchez’s novels and memoir situate themselves in this liminal space of multiple cultural traditions and linguistic contami-nation. The writer anatomizes this space crossed and partitioned by multiple and fluid borders and boundaries. What appears as deficient or lacking from the British and the Spanish points of view, the curse of the periphery, the curse of inhabiting a no man’s land, is repossessed in Sanchez’s writing in order to flesh out a border culture with very specific linguistic and cultural traits.

  • E Interview G M Sanchez 1
    Esterino Adami An e-interview with Gibraltarian author M. G. Sanchez, followed by a review of M. G. Sanchez, The Escape Artist. A Gibraltarian Novel (2013) M. G. Sanchez is a prolific Gibraltarian author, now based in the UK. He has published fiction and essays, in particular: The Escape Artist. A Gibraltarian Novel (2013), Diary of a Victorian Colonial (2008), Rock Babel. Ten Gibraltarian Stories (2008), The Prostitutes of Serruya’s Lanes and Other Hidden Gibraltarian Histories (2007). He has also edited Georgian and Victorian Gibraltar. Incredible Eyewitness Accounts (2012) and Writing the Rock of Gibraltar. An Anthology of Literary Texts, 1720-1890 (2006). He was awarded a PhD from the University of Leeds in 2004. His social media contacts include: https://www.facebook.com/mgsanchezgibraltar and http://www.mgsanchez.net/ I would like to thank M. G. Sanchez for agreeing to participate in the interview which follows, conducted by mail in December 2013. Esterino Adami E.A .: Very often, as readers of literatures from Anglophone contexts, we tend to forget or even ignore lesser-known areas such as Gibraltar. Could you tell us about the literary scene in and the literary tradition of Gibraltar? M. G. S .: With the exception of one or two individuals, there hasn’t really been that much of a literary tradition in Gibraltar. In the 1920s, for example, we had the novelist Hector Licudi, who wrote in Spanish, and in the 1960s and 1970s we had the dramatist Elio Cruz, who wrote a series of plays in the local patois ‘llanito ’ (Spanish interspersed with occasional English words and phrases, as well as ‘Spanglish’ expressions of our own making).
