摘要

本定性研究的目的是调查“专业和受人尊敬”的黑人男性在工作场所的着装选择。更准确地说,这项研究将揭示为什么黑人男性决定穿特定的服装时尚,以及他们如何看待自己,以及他们如何看待自己被更广泛的社会看待。本文以N=4名黑人男性专业人士为研究对象,运用可敬政治和杜波依斯的双重意识条件来指导定性研究。调查结果显示,黑人男性在心理上受到了必须坚持体面政治的束缚,他们必须改变自己的着装方式,以获得非黑人同事的更多尊重。此外,一些黑人男性在经济上也有负担,因为他们需要穿特别时尚的衣服(例如,西装和领带),这些衣服相对昂贵,而他们的非黑人同事通常在工作场所穿得更随意。尽管这项研究中的黑人男性在他们的工作场所坚持体面政治,但他们仍然受到非黑人同事的严厉刻板印象。因此,黑人男性开始质疑,为什么他们要继续参与体面政治,因为这与他们为了保持专业和体面的外表和举止而采取的独特着装方式有关。

The race-gendered clothing choices of the ‘professional and respectable’ Black man in the workplace
The objective of this qualitative study is to investigate the clothing choices of ‘professional and respectable’ Black men in the workplace. More precisely, this study will shed light on why Black men decide to wear particular clothing fashions and how they view themselves versus how they perceive themselves to be viewed by the wider society. I utilize respectability politics and W. E. B. DuBois’s condition of double consciousness to guide this qualitative study with N=4 Black male professionals. Findings show that Black men are psychologically bounded by having to uphold respectability politics and must alter the way they dress to be more respected by their non-Black colleagues. Additionally, some of the Black men were also financially burdened by needing to dress in particular fashions (e.g., suits and ties) that are relatively expensive, while their non-Black colleagues would typically wear more casual clothing within the workplace. Despite the fact that the Black men within this study uphold respectability politics at their places of employment, they are still harshly stereotyped by their non-Black colleagues. Thus, Black men are left questioning why they continue to engage in respectability politics as it pertains to the distinct ways in which they dress in order to maintain a professional and respectable appearance and demeanor.
