Young Black Muslim Women (BMW) have complex, intersectional identities and exist at the margins of various identity groupings. Given this, members of the community can face societal relegation across, not only race and gender lines, but across religious ones, too. This paper explores the lived experiences of intragroup discrimination, identity and belonging in 11 young Black Muslim Women in the United Kingdom. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants and thematically analysed through the lens of intersectionality. The use of an intersectional framework facilitated an understanding of the manner in which the sample was multiply marginalised. Two key themes emerged from the interviews: firstly, around experiences of intragroup and intersectional discrimination and, secondly, around the challenges of responding to and coping with the negative effects of such discrimination. Participants discussed the cross-cutting nature through which they faced discrimination: from within the Black community; from within the Muslim community; and as a result of their gender. The non-exclusivity of these three identities result in constant encounters of discrimination along different dimensions to their personal identity. They also developed diverse means of coping with this marginalisation including drawing from religious beliefs and mobile identifications, i.e. performing different aspects of their identities in different contexts. The present study contributes to existing knowledge in its focus on an under-researched group and emphasises the negative effects of intragroup discrimination. The paper importantly highlights the diversity within the Black community and considers the (in)visibility of Black Muslim Women within society.

为当代英国的年轻黑人穆斯林妇女寻找空间

年轻的黑人穆斯林妇女(BMW)具有复杂的交叉身份,并且存在于各种身份分组的边缘。鉴于此,社区成员不仅会面临种族和性别界限,而且也可能跨越宗教界限,面临社会降级。本文探讨了英国11名年轻的黑人穆斯林妇女的群体内部歧视,身份认同和归属的生活经历。与参与者进行了深入,半结构化的访谈,并通过交互性的角度进行了专题分析。交叉框架的使用促进了对样本被多重边缘化的方式的理解。访谈产生了两个关键主题:首先,围绕群体内和交叉歧视的经历;其次,应对和应对此类歧视的负面影响所面临的挑战。与会者讨论了他们面临歧视的跨领域性质:来自黑人社区;来自黑人社区;来自黑人社区。来自穆斯林社区;并且是由于他们的性别。这三个身份的非排他性会导致在个人身份的不同维度上不断遇到歧视。他们还开发了应对这种边缘化的多种方法,包括借鉴宗教信仰和流动身份,即在不同背景下表现其身份的不同方面。本研究集中于一个研究不足的群体,为现有知识做出了贡献,并强调了群体内歧视的负面影响。
