Recent scholarly work has explored the experiences of racialization among Muslim immigrants in the United States. Such work has challenged a static view of race strictly tied to phenotype by highlighting the significance of culture and religion to racial ascription as well as the varied ways individuals respond to their own racialized position. While valuable, much of this scholarship has analyzed the racialization of Muslim immigrants as it relates to Whiteness thereby neglecting their relationship with other racialized minorities such as African Americans. Moreover, such work has focused on culture and religion without discussing the role that social class plays in the process of racialization. This article seeks to address these gaps by drawing on ethnographic data gathered among a group of Muslim newcomer youth in an urban, multiracial high school in upstate New York. The findings presented here show how these youth are racialized along cultural and religious lines yet actively respond to this process in various ways. In addition, participants articulated racializing comments towards African Americans with significant class connotations. Despite the tensions between Muslim newcomers and African Americans, moments of solidarity were evident and drew attention to the potential for establishing cross-racial alliances.

最近的学术工作探讨了美国穆斯林移民种族化的经历。这些工作通过强调文化和宗教对种族归属的重要性以及个人对自己种族化立场的不同反应方式，挑战了种族与表型严格相关的静态观点。虽然很有价值，但这项奖学金的大部分内容都分析了穆斯林移民的种族化，因为它与白人有关，从而忽略了他们与其他种族化少数群体（如非裔美国人）的关系。此外，这些工作侧重于文化和宗教，而没有讨论社会阶级在种族化过程中的作用。本文试图通过利用在城市的一群穆斯林新移民青年中收集的人种学数据来解决这些差距，纽约州北部的多种族高中。此处提出的研究结果表明，这些青年如何按照文化和宗教路线进行种族化，但又以各种方式积极应对这一过程。此外，参与者对具有重要阶级内涵的非裔美国人发表了种族化的评论。尽管穆斯林新移民和非裔美国人之间存在紧张关系，但团结的时刻显而易见，并引起人们对建立跨种族联盟的潜力的关注。
