From the reality of a medium-sized city like Zarsis, the profound changes and transformations that societies in the South are experiencing as a result of many endogenous factors. exogenous. Our approach consists in showing, through a portrait gallery, that these mutations are experienced as a face-to-face encounter between tradition and modernity, between those who, while open to dialogue with the Other, remain jealously attached to their local identity and cultural roots; and those who insist on keeping their faces focused exclusively on modernity or on the contrary on fundamentalist fantasies, hence the temptations for illegal emigration, Islamist indoctrination and desperate suicidal reactions.
