Abstract
This article exposes an analysis of most of the existent bibliography surrounding Tunisian author Ṭāhar Ḥaddād. As an Islamic reformer, Ḥaddād was an active member of the nationalist movement, as well as a poet, a journalist, an educational reform activist, a trade unionist, and a firm believer in the emancipation of women. Despite his contribution to modernist thought in colonial Tunisia, the criticism he received in life as well as his premature death, led to a period of oblivion from the time of his death until independence. By then, his ideas began to receive scholarly attention, which made it convenient to have a list such as that provided by this article to facilitate research from future scholars. Our aim is twofold; on the one hand, we intend to detect periods of high academic interest and periods of less activity to understand what social or political events were causing them. On the other hand, we aim to analyze which facets of Ḥaddād’s production have received the most attention and which have received the least to highlight areas of research that need further development. We believe that these, which include his take on educational reform, as well as comparative studies between him and other modernist thinkers of the time, both inside and outside his country, hold the most potential for future research.
