Tunisie Telegraph: New book explores discrimination in southern Tunisia

Recently published is the book "Beyond the Skin" by anthropologist Marta Scalioni, which sheds light on the mechanisms of race and discrimination in southern Tunisia, where the lingering effects of cross-desert slavery continue to directly influence society. The book explores how racism transcends skin color to encompass genetic and social origins, with a focus on communication practices, marriage, and popular sayings derived from ancient classifications. It also emphasizes the role of French colonization in institutionalizing racial divisions, as well as the legal changes following the Tunisian revolution—including the enactment of anti-racism legislation in 2018. Additionally, it provides field analysis of how the concept of race is constructed and its ongoing impact on social identity in Tunisia.
