Cromohs - Cyber Review of Modern Historiography, vol. 23, marzo de 2021, pp. 60-75. https://doi.org/10.36253/cromohs-12503.10.36253/cromohs-12503https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/95950The border separating/unifying Gibraltar with Spain is reproduced in public discourse as a threat and an obstacle to the normalisation of political life in the small enclave. Yet, an in-depth socio-historical analysis of local cross-border relations over the 20th century, shows how the Gibraltarian national identity and local government originate from the border rather than in opposition to it. The fencing of the frontier imposed by the Franco’s regime between 1969-1985 allows the discursive (re)production of a Gibraltarian identity distinct from that of the Spanish neighbours - and, in part, from that of the English colonisers.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/journal article1123-7023https://doi.org/10.36253/cromohs-12503https://oajournals.fupress.net/index.php/cromohs/article/view/12503/12142open accessHumanidades5504.02 Historia Contemporánea
