ABSTRACT
In taking stock of the Britih influence on the Gibraltarian community and the interaction between Briton and Gibraltarian, and in relating the British and other influences to the Gibraltarians' assertion of their own national identity and their demand for self-determination, it should be borne in mind that a long time-scale has been involved. The influences and interactions have occurred over three centuries, in varying contexts and against a background of evolving values and norms, expectations and assertions.
