最近对英国背景下宗教、男性气质、民族和种族交叉的兴趣可以说为种族群体的学术研究开辟了新的空间。特别是试图了解年轻穆斯林男性的表现失败，推动了某种类型的以政策为重点的研究议程。本文认为，这项工作的大部分理论化仍然相对较差，并且没有阐明一个提供潜在富有成效的新活动的研究领域，而是排练了英国种族关系叙事的问题。通过从后殖民视角考虑男性气质，本文提供了一种避免通过英国种族关系的特殊视角关注种族群体所造成的一些陷阱的方法。殖民地男性气质和后殖民男性气质被证明是同一问题的正面，因此需要更多地关注关键的身份标记，例如宗教，这些标记经常在有关男性气质的新兴文献中以漫不经心的方式使用。
Recent interest in the intersections of religion, masculinity, ethnicity and race in the British context have arguably opened up a new space in academic research racialized groups. In particular attempts to understand performance failure of young Muslim men has driven a certain type of research agenda focusing on policy. This article argues that much of this work remains relatively poorly theorized and rather than illuminating an area of research which offers potentially fruitful new engagements rehearse the problems of the British race-relations narrative. By considering masculinities in the light of postcolonial perspective, the article offers a way of avoiding some of the pitfalls that focusing on racialized groups through the particular lens of British race-relations creates. Colonial masculinities and postcolonial emasculation are demonstrated as obverse sides of the same problematic and, therefore, require greater attention to key identity markers, such as religion, which are often used in a cavalier manner in the emergent literature on masculinity.
