Renegotiating Gender and the State in Tunisia Between 2011 and 2014: Power, Positionality, and the Public Sphere (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783658256388)

Anna Antonakis' analysis of the Tunisian transformation process (2011-2014) displays how negotiations of gender initiating new political orders do not only happen in legal and political institutions but also in media representations and on a daily basis in the family and public space. While conventionalized as a "model for the region", this book outlines how the Tunisian transformation missed to address social inequalities and local marginalization as much as substantial challenges of a secular but conservative gender order inscribed in a Western hegemonic concept of modernity. She introduces the concept of "dissembled secularism" to explain major conflict lines in the public sphere and the exploitation of gender politics in a context of post-colonial dependencies.
