Abstract:
|
Asian American masculinity has been discussed mainly with negative portrayals in popular culture. There are few empirical studies on Asian American mens negotiation of masculinity and even fewer studies been done on their negotiation of masculinities in the context of interracial relationships. In this paper, based on 42 interviews with Asian Americans and white Americans who are in interracial relationships, I examine the social processes in which three Asian American men uniquely negotiate with hegemonic ideologies of race, gender, and class in their relationships with white women. Through three narratives, I address how Asian American men strategically re-deploy their racialized masculinities through their rejection of and complicity with the dominant discourse of race, gender and class. I also discuss how white women in relationships with these men have participated in, or are expected to engage in, Asian American mens regeneration of their particular manhood. |
