“…In previous demonstrations of support for sans-papiers, such as the denunciation in 1996 -97 by French film-makers of the heavy-handed expulsions of Malians, the very photogenic and quite 'mainstream' actress Emmanuelle Béart had publicly called for civil disobedience, contributing to huge media coverage of the case, raising public awareness of the dysfunctions of the French legal system. 7 This example, as well as that of Zebda (Lebrun, 2002), shows that mediatisation and presumably 'controversial' positions can sometimes go hand in hand, whereas prejudices against 'mainstream' exposure that are self-consciously counter-cultural may be somewhat counter-productive.…”

“…Insistant sur les notions de violence potentielle ('arme de poing'), de participation politique ('engagements') et de subversion ('radicale'), ces extraits situent Zebda dans la catégorie 'contestataire' de la musique populaire française. Les quelques publications universitaires à son sujet ont, jusqu'à présent, toutes visé à contextualiser cette contestation dans l'évolution de la France post-coloniale, accordant une grande place au fait que le chanteur principal et parolier du groupe, Magyd Cherfi, ainsi que les choristes et frères Amokrane, soient d'origine algérienne (Seery 2001;Lebrun 2002;Marx-Scouras 2005;Huq 2006). Ces lectures situent principalement la démarche de Zebda dans une perspective identitaire, faisant écho au champ de recherche des 'beur studies' en proposant une réflexion sur la façon dont les artistes issus de l'immigration effectuent une 'remise en cause' , ou simplement la 'critique' , d'un certain discours dominant.…”
