Abstract
(type = abstract)
In 1962, Tunisia became the first Arab country to receive Peace Corps volunteers. Traditional scholarship has focused on the Peace Corps as a uniquely American experience; volunteers’ engagement with host country nationals is often reduced to a list of accomplishments and obstacles. Archival documents and volunteer testimony indicates, however, that the relationship between volunteer and host in the Tunisia Program’s first ten years was both fluid and complex. Volunteers did not perform their work in a vacuum and the Peace Corps was far from a one-way experience. Tunisia was a newly post-colonial society and its citizens oftentimes had conflicting visions for their development. Volunteers had to work themselves into Tunisian life, and in doing so, found that they learned as much—if not more—than they had taught.
