State’s endeavors to ingest heterogeneous entities and homogenize the nation, I argue, has further marginalized black Tunisians of both autochthonous and slave descent and has inadvertently emphasized their difference, pushing them to the margin of what constitutes a Tunisian national identity.
What Politics? Youth and Political Engagement in Africa, Brill, 2017

We continue this discussion by exploring multiple meanings ascribed to the notion of resistance among young musicians in Tunisia. The conceptual pair of youth and resistance is often treated in connection with state-centred arenas, manifest political participation as well as overt dissent on the streets. This leads easily to somewhat spectacular accounts of young people’s resistance, leaving aside its diverse everyday modes, agencies and spaces (see Bayat 2013). By examining the informants’ reflections on the roles of music in their lives, and by listening to their music and lyrics, we aim to analyse the complexities of youthful civic action through music in Tunisia with the concept ‘respectful resistance’.
