Tunisian President Kais Saied\u2019s 21 February remarks deploring \u201chordes of illegal migrants\u201d as a threat to the country\u2019s \u201cIslamic and Arab\u201d identity have unleashed new waves of violence against\u00a0individuals racialized as Black and African in Tunisia. Is this moment indeed a rupture in the\u00a0country\u2019s post-independence policy of color-blindness and national unity?<\/p>\n

By bringing together historians, activists, and social scientists, this virtual panel will reflect on\u00a0how Saied\u2019s\u00a0comments in fact mirror structural policies of anti-Black racism, xenophobia, and Global-North supported migration politics in Tunisia. We will ask: What are the structural and historical roots of anti-Black sentiments and institutions in Tunisia? How does racism in Tunisia impact sub-Saharan and Black Tunisian populations? How can one understand the dominant role of the European Union in anti-migrant ideologies and institutions in Tunisia? What motivates Saied to espouse\u00a0\u201cgreat replacement\u201d\u00a0conspiracy theories in the current socio-political moment?<\/p>\n

Please join us to learn more about the historical precedents to the unfolding situation in Tunisia, and how folks on the ground are responding to this violence.<\/p>\n

Nous poserons les questions suivantes : Quelles sont les racines historiques des sentiments et des institutions anti-Noirs en Tunisie ? Quel est l’impact du racisme en Tunisie sur les populations Subsahariennes et Noires tunisiennes ?
