Much has been written about the British empire's construction outside Europe, yet there is little on the same themes in Britain's tiny empire in 'Europe'. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis study follows Cyprus' progress from a perceived imperial asset to an expendable backwater by explaining how the Union Jack came to fly over the island and why after thirty-five years the British wanted it lowered. Cyprus' importance was always more imagined than real and was enmeshed within widely held cultural signifiers and myths. This book fills a gap in the existing literature on the early British period in Cyprus and challenges the received and monolithic view that British imperial policy was based primarily or exclusively on strategic-military considerations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe combination of archival research, cultural analysis and visual narrative that makes for an enjoyable read for academics and students of imperial, British and European history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrekos Varnava\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719086403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAndrekos Varnava is Associate Professor in Modern History at Flinders University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40104776630387,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":29.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_7d510c1b-c9cb-46e7-b657-691cdcfcfb83.jpg?v=1653230106","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/british-imperialism-in-cyprus-1878-1915-the-inconsequential-possession-9780719086403","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
