ABSTRACT Though much has been written about the benefits that Black sororities and fraternities offer its members as well as broader communities within and beyond the ivory towers, comparatively fewer studies have addressed how these organizations interact with men's constructions and embodiments of masculinities. Moreover, even fewer studies examine the intersections of masculinities, race, and religion. As such, this paper examines how members of one Black Christian fraternity construct their manhood amid these intersections. To do this, we conduct an interpretative phenomenological analysis based on interviews, a photovoice exercise, and field notes taken during a fraternity retreat to examine how members of this fraternity negotiate race-gender-religion as they navigate both college life and emerging adulthood. Our analysis reveals that the men embody Black Christian masculinities as responsibility, assuming leadership roles, and actively working against stereotypes and tropes of Black Christian manhood. Ultimately, we argue that colleges and universities should be cognizant of the ways that Black Christian fraternity men experience and respond to gendered racism and that educators themselves be aware of the subtle ways (cisgender heterosexual) Black manhood can sometimes reinforce heteropatriarchy.

忠诚的誓言：黑人基督徒兄弟会如何体现种族、性别和宗教身份

摘要 尽管关于黑人姐妹会和兄弟会为其成员以及象牙塔内外更广泛的社区提供的好处已经写了很多，但相对较少的研究已经解决了这些组织如何与男性的构建和男子气概的体现相互作用。此外，甚至更少的研究调查男性气质、种族和宗教的交叉点。因此，本文研究了一个黑人基督教兄弟会的成员如何在这些交叉点中构建他们的男子气概。为了做到这一点，我们基于访谈、摄影语音练习和兄弟会静修期间的现场笔记进行了解释性现象学分析，以研究该兄弟会的成员在大学生活和新兴成年期如何协商种族-性别-宗教。我们的分析表明，这些男人将黑人基督徒的男子气概体现为责任，承担领导角色，并积极反对黑人基督徒男子气概的刻板印象和比喻。最终，我们认为大学和大学应该认识到黑人基督教兄弟会男性经历和回应性别种族主义的方式，并且教育者自己要意识到黑人男​​性有时会强化异父权制的微妙方式（顺性别异性恋）。
