Qu'as-tu fait de ta jeunesse ?
Gilbert Naccache - Collection L'histoire à vif
Résumé
--
Can a personal itinerary, and what's more a political one, be of great interest for future generations? Not always! But there are some that are both exemplary and instructive, because of the quality of the subject's engagement, the depth of their reflection and the moment in history they tell. Tunisia gained independence in 1956 and, in 1959, the Tunisian Republic was proclaimed. So many young people, for whom independence also meant lawful access for all to modernity and progress, were soon disillusioned. Their government, deploying original tactics, slipped little by little toward the instauration of an authoritarian State, politically and economically fluctuating but with one constant factor: the exclusion of most political elements and the everyday use of State violence against those who protested. One of those protestors tells his story, set against the complex background of contestation: the stages of awareness and combat of the Marxist left, the questions and tearing apart of organisations, especially the Perspectives group. Is the construction of a national State incompatible with respect for human rights and public and individual freedom? Setting aside the specific events and constraints of Tunisia, is there an unspoken law to which most countries, having obtained their independence, must conform by adopting the principles of State organisation and government under the aegis of a single party? This interrogation persists throughout Gilbert Naccache's testimony. The answer is probably affirmative. But, "had we known, we would not have given up that struggle which gave meaning to our lives, promising more just, and truer relations..."
