El movimiento obrero como plataforma para la liberación nacional a través de la obra Al-‘ummal al-tunisiyyun wa zuhur al-haraka al-niqabiyya (1927) de Tahar Haddad

Abstract

The issue of national liberation is the main axis of Tunisian scholar ??har ?add?d’s (1899-1935) thought. His concern for this cause, which can be found in all his main works, is especially relevant with regards to the labor movement. ?add?d’s implications with trade unionism gave birth to one of his most renowned books, Al-‘umm?l al-t?nis?yy?n wa-?uh?r al-?araka al-niq?biyya (The Tunisian workers and the emergence of the labor movement), published in 1927. In this paper, we will analyze the linking elements between labor movement and nationalism throughout the aforementioned work.
