摘要

2005年,历史学家大卫·r·罗迪格(David R. Roediger)出版了《向白人化努力:美国移民如何成为白人》(Working Toward Whiteness: How us’s Immigrants 's becoming White)一书,该书现在已成为经典。他在书中讲述了20世纪初的少数族裔移民如何在“白人种族”中获得一席之地,从而有资格成为完全的美国人,并受到公平和尊重。来自中东的穆斯林移民也不例外。然而,成为白人是一个特别漫长而艰辛的过程,最终导致1978年管理预算办公室的指令正式将中东移民归类为白人。但2001年9月11日的恐怖袭击引发了构成美国穆斯林社区的不同族群之间的新联盟:来自各行各业的阿拉伯人、非洲裔美国人或东南亚人联合起来,抵制歧视和偏见。因此,出现了一个问题,即共同的文化遗产或信仰是否应该成为形成新的集体和可见身份的主要力量。此外,这一过程需要对基于社会经济地位的等级制度提出质疑;与同为宗教信徒的非裔美国人相比,阿拉伯裔美国公民在教育和财富方面要好得多。本文的主要目的是评估9/11对阿拉伯裔美国穆斯林及其社区领袖重新定义其集体身份边界的方式的影响,以及他们如何与本土穆斯林建立团结的纽带。它试图解决两个相关的问题:阿拉伯裔美国穆斯林与黑人-白人二元模型或种族二元模型有什么关系?阶级认同在构建阿拉伯和非裔美国穆斯林之间的社会关系中扮演什么角色?虽然我不否认种族在构建社会关系中继续发挥着基本作用,但我认为,密切关注社会经济地位如何影响群体身份的形成是很重要的。

Becoming Part of Mainstream America or Asserting a New Muslim-Americanness: How American Muslims Negotiate their Identity in a post 9/11 Environment
In 2005, historian David R. Roediger published the now-classic Working Toward Whiteness: How America’s Immigrants Became White in which he recounts how immigrant minorities in the early 20th century secured their place in the “white race” in order to qualify as fully American and be treated with fairness and respect. Muslim immigrants from the Middle-East were no exception to the process described. However, becoming white was a particularly long and arduous journey which eventually led to the 1978 Office of Management Budget directive officially categorizing Middle-Eastern immigrants as white. But the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 sparked new alliances between the various ethnic groups that make up the US Muslim community: Arabs, African-Americans or South-East Asians from all walks of life have joined forces in resisting discrimination and bigotry. Thus, the question arises whether common cultural heritage or faith should be the main force shaping a new collective and visible identity. Also, such process entails a questioning of hierarchies based on socioeconomic status; compared to their African-American coreligionists, American citizens of Arab descent fare much better in terms of education and wealth. The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the impact of 9/11 on the way Arab-American Muslims and their community leaders re-define the boundaries of their collective identity and how they forge bonds of solidarity with indigenous Muslims. It seeks to address two related questions: How do Arab-American Muslims relate to the black-white dualist model or racial binary? What role does class identification play in structuring social relations between Arab and African-American Muslims? While I do not negate the fact that in the US race continues to play a fundamental role in structuring social relations, I argue that it is important to pay close attention to how socioeconomic status may condition the formulation of a group identity.
