Nationalism in Anis Couchane’s Poem “Fii Baladi”

This paper aims to raise the right to describe the substantive meaning of nationalism. Nnationalism grows on a person when there is a willingness to build and advance his country, and this can be done in various ways. Tunisian poet Anis Chouchane told his thoughts about nationalism through his poetry. This study aims to reveal some ideas about nationalism that Fii Baladi contained. The study was a literature review with a mimetic approach by contrasting and comparing the ideas and spirit of the nationalism contained in the poem with the phenomena that occurred in Tunisia. The study revealed a nationalist crisis in Tunis brought about the ideas of togetherness and respect for humanity. This also led to the emergence of people awareness that the rich realized the right of the poor in their property, that the healthy admitted that being disabled is not their choice, that white man recognized that the black man reserves a right to live in dignity, and the slave is not always insulted.
