ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses a blind spot concerning the specific issues of marginalization amongst adult ethnic minority men in Denmark. It analyses three specific processes of marginalization amongst a group of ethnic minority men in Aalborg East: local and contextual mechanisms on the meso level; an analysis of the implications of downward class journey; and the processes of othering some of these men have experienced. The chapter presents the theoretical framework for analysing marginalized masculinity through four key concepts: hegemonic masculinity, intersectionality, class journey and othering. The experiences of othering addressed by interviewees do not only have consequences for the 'objective' social status of the men. The combined result of class journey and experiences of othering and racism may thus be concrete social problems as well as marginalized male identities. In other words, intersectional changes related to class and ethnicity drastically change the dynamics of gender relegating these men to a space of marginalized masculinity.
