What is it about?
The study discusses the way the francophone community in Tunisia, a sociolinguitically, culturally and economicall influential community in Tunisia, responded to the rise of the Arabo-Islamist ideology in the wake of the Arab spring. The study traces the discourse strategies employed by this group to counteract the ethnolinguistic and religious model of identity defended by the Islamists in their quest for power.
