Le Maghreb dans la construction identitaire de la Tunisie postcoloniale [Ressource électronique] / par Driss Abbassi
Notes bibliogr.
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
