Résumé
Les hommes d’origine afro-caribéenne qui ont des relations sexuelles avec d’autres hommes (HARSAH noirs) doivent composer avec une multitude de défis propres à leur position sociale. Utilisant l’intersectionnalité comme approche théorique et comme méthodologie, nous avons documenté lors d’une phase quantitative (n=32) que les participants ont grandement fait l’objet de racisme sexuel et doivent composer avec une certaine homonégativité à même leur communauté ethnoculturelle. Nous avons ensuite exploré qualitativement (n=12) leurs réactions face au racisme sexuel, les défis propres à leur position intersectionnelle, leurs positionnements face aux stéréotypes ethnosexuels et les mécanismes de résilience déployés pour faire face à l’adversité.

Abstract
Black men of Afro-Caribbean origin who have sex with men (Black MSM) must deal with a multitude of challenges specific to their social position. Using intersectionality as a theoretical approach and as a methodology, we were able to document that participants of the first quantitative phase (n=32) greatly experienced sexual racism and must deal with a certain homonegativity in their ethnocultural communites. We then explored qualitatively (n=12) how Black MSM react to sexual racism, what are the specific challenges unique to their intersectional position, how they position themselves with ethnosexual stereotypes and what coping mechanisms they deploy while facing adversity.
Keywords:
- Black MSM,
