The concert organized by SOS Racisme in 1985 became a regular event, and subsequent concerts have been given over the years. For a complete discussion of the emergence and significance of the debates on national identity, see Hargreaves, 1995 and Favell. It is important to note that hip‐hop did not develop or endure in Great Britain, for example, in the way it did in France, and this despite similar sociopolitical developments at the time of hip‐hop's introduction into Great Britain. The failure of British hip‐hop is often attributed to a failure on the part of British rap musicians to cultivate a form of hip‐hop that was their own. (Manuel Boucher quotes several British rap artists who blame the absence of a language difference.) Thus, it is precisely because French musicians were able to innovate the musical form they appropriated that hip‐hop became such a powerful cultural force in France. The term linha imaginot seems to be a play on Ligne Maginot and would be its antithesis. Where the Ligne Maginot is a fortified line whose function was to divide and separate cultures and nations, the linha imaginot is an open and all‐inclusive nonphysical line that unites people of all cultures. These results can be derived from comparing the SOFRES poll of 2002 of the Les Jeunes et le racisme, available online at http://www.tns‐sofres.com/etudes/pol/190302_jeunesetracisme_r.htm with the CNCDH of 1999 on Les Attitudes des Français face au racisme available online at www.francas.asso.fr/rubriques/actions/educatives/Droits_plus/Baroracisme.pdf
