This book explores the tensions underlying British imperialism in Cyprus. Much has been written about the British empires construction outside Europe, yet there is little on the same themes in Britains tiny empire in Europe.This 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 thirtyfive 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 strategicmilitary considerations.The 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.
