Summary/Abstract |
The article analyzes the ways in which the term “cultural diversity” has become a hegemonic discourse for both the state and political activists in Tunisia. This process, initiated since the independence, has taken a new impetus with the end of the authoritarian regime permitted by the Tunisian revolution in 2011. The article examines the politicization of the issue of diversity in Tunisia and its inclusion in the new narratives of the nation after 2011. In order to do so, it focuses on three aspects of the neodiversity in Tunisia: the claims for the recognition of the Amazigh culture, the struggle against racial discrimination against the black population, and the renewed Africanism—or belonging to a so-called African space.
