Summary: | This article argues that the racialization of Islam and Muslims as brown circumscribes brown Muslims' identity exploration. Ethnographic research here shows how Arab and South Asian Muslims manage race and religion in exploring their identities. The key contribution of this research is in drawing attention to under-examined aspects of racialization that this group engages to construct their identities, specifically the black-white U.S. racial binary and secularism. |
