Description
Book SynopsisThis historical monograph offers a unique look at the independence movement in Tunisia, during French colonial rule, from a perspective largely neglected by scholars: the voice of the students who were major participants. The experience of Tunisia''s students lends to a better comprehension of the relationship between Western education and the inception and development of a nationalist movement. James Natsis takes a sweeping look at student/youth associations and organizations from their beginnings in 1896 to independence in 1956. The theoretical framework of this study is based on colonial educational policy and its resulting effects on conflict theory and alienation theory. Natsis also considers the impact of external influences such as Communism and Pan-Arabism.
