520 _aSouth-South migrations play a major part in the globalization of immigration. The migration of Libyans to Tunisia is of interest to study how they have been welcomed in a somewhat ambiguous way by Tunisian society since the fall of the Ben Ali regime in 2011. When analyzing their interactions within Tunisian society, a distinction must be made between theoretical rights, real practices, and the status claimed by Libyans. The aim is to understand whether they are a minority group in the making by examining their place in Tunisian social hierarchy. Do the prejudices of some Tunisians towards them contribute to the minorization process linked to Tunisians’ social-cultural domination over Libyans, thus updating certain representations associated with the two antagonistic socio-historical constructions that are Tunisian nationalism and Libyan nationalism, or are these prejudices merely the expression of some Tunisians’ ordinary discontent due to post-revolution economic hardship? The issue of interethnic relations is crucial to understand the impact on Tunisian society of the presence of Libyan migrants, thus questioning the notion of Tunisianity.
