Product Description
This book explores the tensions underlying British imperialism in Cyprus, 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.
