Raï music is often called the voice of the voiceless in Algeria, a society currently swept by tragic conflict. Raï is the voice of algerian men, young men caught between generations and classes, in political strife, and in economic inequality. In a ground-braking study, anthropologist Marc Shade-Poulsen uses this popular music genre as a lens through which he views algerian society, particularly male society. He situates Raï within algerian family life, moral codes, and broader power relations.
