Intermarriage is an important indicator of immigrant integration trajectories and the rigidity of ethnoracial boundaries. Although questions of Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) integration and social exclusion occupy a central place in public discourse, little is known about their marriage patterns. The authors use the 2017 American Community Survey to estimate patterns of coethnic, panethnic, and intergroup marriages for MENA populations. Compared with other immigrant groups, rates of intermarriage are relatively high, and there is little evidence of “panethnic” patterns of marriage. However, more recent marriages have become less exogamous. Hierarchical age-period-cohort models suggest that this is driven by changing patterns among more recent cohorts, with some evidence of a post-2001 period effect among men. Compositional changes in the country of origin account for some, but not all, of these cohort effects. The findings highlight the importance of further research on MENA Americans to understand their unique social experiences of the U.S. ethnoracial hierarchy, particularly in the context of increasing racialized anti-Arab and anti-Muslim discrimination after 2001.

通婚是移民融合轨迹和民族边界僵化的重要标志。尽管中东和北非（MENA）融合和社会排斥问题在公共话语中占据中心位置，但对其婚姻模式知之甚少。作者使用2017年美国社区调查来估计MENA人群的民族，泛灵和族际婚姻模式。与其他移民群体相比，通婚率相对较高，几乎没有“泛希腊”婚姻模式的证据。但是，最近的婚姻变得越来越少。分层的年龄段队列模型表明，这是由较新的队列中的模式改变所驱动的，并且有证据表明，2001年后的年龄段对男性有影响。原籍国的成分变化导致了这些队列效应中的部分但并非全部。这些发现凸显了对中东和北非美国人进行进一步研究的重要性，以了解他们对美国种族等级制的独特社会经历，尤其是在2001年以后种族化的反阿拉伯和反穆斯林歧视日益加剧的背景下。
