This book about the Falklands/Malvinas conflict centres on the war and its consequences, but from an oblique perspective that brings together English, Spanish and Argentine specialists and researchers.
It aims to be an objective and reflective book. It does not approach the topic from the perspective of the war or national sentiment, neither is it an essay. The book is novel in that different social scientists analyse the theme from the perspective of their own disciplines. It combines approaches from history, political science, journalism, literature, film, sociology and cultural studies in general. Through taking different perspectives, which cut across each other and dialogue, it moves beyond traditional approaches to the conflict based on nationalism, geopolitics or military achievements.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Theconflict over possession of the Falklands-MalvinasIslands was waged in an area remote both geographically and geo-politically inan era of cold war and also of tensions within and between sovereign states ofthe supposed western bloc. It has been broadly perceived as an absurdconfrontation, the echoes of which, despite the brevity of its duration, and somefour decades on, resonate still not least in the lasting wounds that beartestimony yet to its underlying causes. This book probes the reasons behind the conflicts tragic occurrence and the processing of its consequences in and beyondthe sovereign states that suffered and suffer still from the exacerbating ofnationalist identities in the resolution of their differences and the consequentchallenges to be addressed. Drawing on perspectives that bring togethercontributors from markedly differing backgrounds, whether national ordisciplinary, this collection reinforces the spirit of critical questioningthat historical and sociological research must ever value and pursue.Prejudices and preconceptions are acknowledged and confronted yet contextualisedand revised through filters of new questions and answers which are not alwaysanticipated or, for the stubbornly partisan, readily embraced. Examines the Falklands/Malvinas conflict and its consequences, but from an oblique perspective that brings together English, Spanish and Argentine specialists and researchers. The book is novel in that different social scientists analyse the conflict from the perspective of their own disciplines.
