Contested Politics in Tunisia. Civil Society in a Post-Authoritarian State, Paperback/Edwige Fortier

After Tunisia's 2010-11 uprising and the downfall of its dictator, a period of transformation occurred as new actors and groups rushed to actively participate in the socio-political transformations of their nation. Fortier examines the effects of opening up this public space, and the deep sociocultural and socioreligious divisions that emerged. Illustrations: Worked examples or Exercises
