How Tunisians Became Tunisians

In this book Hedi Timoumi tried to examine the various facets of Tunisian personality through a different methodology, starting from the present time, excavating the depths of history, in search of the accumulations that led to the attainment of its present-day characteristics. He puts forth new interpretations, likely to account for the eminence and uniqueness of Tunisian identity, that collective mentality which, as some thinkers believe, may help us explain why “revolution” has sparked off from Tunisia.
