of Postcolonial Tunisia
The image that Maghreban construct of North Africa is a
little investigated subject. This study examines the question of Maghreban
imaginaire from a South-South perspective on the basis of a systematic
analysis of a corpus of twelve school history textbooks published in Tunisia
between 1956 and 2005. This approach implicitly echoes current French
debates on the way colonial history is presented to younger generations. It
also attends to grasp the meaning of the various categories which are
Maghreb, North Africa, the Muslim West, the south of the Mediterranean,
etc., from an endogenous standpoint. The Maghreb is presented as a political
rather than a cultural concept. This makes the North African space difficult
to grasp, as it has multiple, sometimes even contradictory representations.
One of the evolutions evidenced is that since "the death of Arab nationalist
ideology," the "Mediterranean Maghreb" paradigm is now far from being the
mobilizing myth shared by all Maghreban populations. |
