Drawing on a definition of secularism as a process of defining, managing, and intervening in religious life by the state, this paper identifies how under Habib Bourguiba and Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali the state sought to subordinate religion and to claim the sole right to interpret Islam for the public in an effort to win the monopoly over religious symbolism and, with it, political control.

This period, as will be shown, was critical in shaping the ethno-religious arrangement of peoples in Tunisia today. This occurred because a centralizing newly-independent state created a nation through identity based upon citizenship. Tunisia is a particularly good case study of homogenizing post-colonial nation-states because the government never sought to exclude any part of the population through direct action. Instead, domestic and international events that shook the nation and had an impact on the Jewish minority, such as independence, the reorganization of the Jewish community of 1958, the 1961 Bizerte Crisis and the Six Day War, made a solution such as exile palatable for the Jews.

  • North Africa
    •:• >* *» % * ' North Africa TUNISIA HE period under review (July 1, 1956, through June 30, 1957) saw TTunisia's achievement of full independence, in accordance with the protocol signed in Paris on March 20, 1956, between the governments of France and Tunisia. During 1955-56 it was noted that the foreign consulates which had previously existed in Tunisia had been raised to embassies or legations. During 1956-57 various countries which had not been represented in Tunisia under the protectorate established embassies or legations. These included Belgium, the German Federal Republic, Portugal, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Libya, and Morocco. Tunisia added embassies in Italy, Spain, Saudi Arabia, and the German Federal Republic to those—in France, the United States, Great Britain, Egypt, Morocco, and Libya—which it had established before July 1956. After the suspension of French economic aid, discussed below, Tunisia sought to develop commercial agreements with other countries. An agreement with Yugoslavia was signed on June 19, 1957, and negotiations with Egypt, the Soviet Union, and Bulgaria were on the verge of producing agreements in the fall of 1957. At its session of July 26, 1956, the United Nations (UN) Security Council unanimously adopted a French motion proposing Tunisia's admission to the UN. This was also unanimously approved by the General Assembly in its session of November 12, 1956. Tunisia further consolidated her independence by establishing an army, securing the partial evacuation of French troops (still garrisoned in certain zones), and Tunisianizing the courts, the civil service, and the radio and television stations. Numerous foreign personalities, including United States Vice President Richard M.

  • A State in Society the Identity of the Tunisian State in the Constitution
    A State in society The identity of the Tunisian state in the Constitution. Sadok BELAID Looking back at a founding ambiguity The question of the identity of the State is an old one, which has been asked since the very first days of Tunisian independence. That was the first time that power had been Tunisian – embodied by Tunisians, for Tunisians. Consequently, Tunisia has only been wrestling with such matters of identity since 1956. To understand the terms in which the question arises today, it is essential to look back at what was decided at the time of independence. We must look back at the key episodes in the conflict over the State's identity to understand how it shapes today's political forces in Tunisia. In the 1950s, with the advent of independence, two opposing visions emerged: on the one hand, a traditionalist view, more "Zitouna" than Muslim Brotherhood, built and advocated by sheikhs and by professors at Zitouna University, who tried to transplant their vision into the constitution; and, on the other, the vision of those close to Neo-Destour. It was the first time the Tunisian State had been independent, sovereign. It encountered all the difficulties that every religious country in the world faces: the difficulties of religion. Habib Bourguiba then found an ingenious compromise: he created a misunderstanding of the nature of the Tunisian State and enshrined it in the Constitution of 1959. That misunderstanding left everybody satisfied: some said the State was conservative, while others claimed it was liberal and reformist. The ambiguity ran deep and attracted criticism from some advocates of more radical approaches, but, when the time came, Bourguiba silenced them all, banging his fist on the table and declaring, "this is the way it is going to be".

  • "Developments in Tunisia," AJC Paris Office Memorandum
    R COPY The American Jewish Committee May 5, 1956 MEMORANDUM TO: New York Office FROM: Paris Office SUBJ: Developments in Tunisia We have just returned from a visit to Tunisia. The decision to go there was prompted by two developments of extreme importance, following closely upon each other. On April 13 the first national assembly in Tunisia adopted the first three articles of the Tunisian constitution. Article 1 proclaimed that "the religion of Tunisia is Islamic and its language Arabic." Article 3 "guarantees liberty of conscience and assures the protection of the practice of religion, within the framework of the law." On April 22 Dr. Sadok Mokkadem, special envoy of the Tunisian government in the Middle East, declared in Damascus that "Tunisia, united with the other Arab countries by race, religion and language, will adhere to the Arab League and participate in all activities undertaken by it on the international level in favor of Arabism and Islamism." Mokkadem further said that "Tunisia will align itself on the side of the Arab countries in the Palestinian ques- tion because Zionism represents one of the aspects of imperialism." The next day the Tunisian Minister of Information, comment- ing on Dr. Mokkadem's statement, stressed Tunisia's ties to the Moslem world and declared that Israel was a state founded on injustice; but did not specifically contradict or affirm Dr. Mokkadem's declaration that Tunisia would join the Arab League. Immediately upon our arrival in Tunis we contacted Jewish community leaders, spoke with ordinary Jewish men and women in all walks of life, and--after agreement with the heads of the community—arranged for meetings with all important ministers in the Tunisian cabinet.
