Today, racial and ethnic minority (REM) men complete college at lower rates and perceive a less welcoming campus climate than their white and female peers. Although these disparities in perceptions and outcomes are well-documented, we know less about how they are produced. Drawing on an ethnographic study at a four-year public university, I examine the experiences of REM men in the extracurricular realm of college. Findings illuminate how students become locked into narrow identity strategies in order to distance themselves from controlling images and conform to the demands of peers. These styles of self-presentation offer limited emotional dividends, making it difficult to feel a durable sense of belonging. Further, social class intersects with race and gender, shaping the capacity of REM men to navigate mistreatment and marginalization in the broader extracurricular landscape. This research has implications for scholarship and for efforts to support REM men in higher education.

论大学生活的边缘：少数民族男子的课外经历

今天，与白人和女性同龄人相比，种族和少数族裔 (REM) 男性以较低的比率完成大学学业，并且认为校园环境不太受欢迎。尽管这些认知和结果的差异有据可查，但我们对它们是如何产生的知之甚少。根据在四年制公立大学进行的民族志研究，我考察了 REM 男性在大学课外领域的经历。调查结果阐明了学生如何被锁定在狭隘的身份策略中，以便与控制图像保持距离并符合同龄人的需求。这些自我表现方式提供的情感红利有限，让人难以感受到持久的归属感。此外，社会阶层与种族和性别相交，塑造 REM 男性在更广泛的课外环境中应对虐待和边缘化的能力。这项研究对奖学金和支持 REM 男性接受高等教育的努力具有重要意义。
