Abstract
Giacomo Orsini et al.’s chapter places the Gibraltar/Spanish border in a broader comparative perspective by including the island of Lampedusa and Melilla into the frame. All three examples point to the speed with which periods where people’s common culture and humanity gets trumped by political turns, where bridges rapidly become barriers. The comparative framework is instructive because it places Gibraltar in the context of a broader set of phenomena.
