Description: This paper explores the formation of what may be described as a kind of "protest masculinity" (Connell 1995, 109--119) among groups of male Arabic-speaking-background teenagers in Western Sydney, who are marginalised in the labour market and experience "hidden injuries" of racism across the gamut of everyday life: from teacher discrimination, to police harassment, to libellous media panics, to abuse on the street or public transport. Presented here are findings from a series of semi-structured, open-ended interviews conducted at home with each of seven male sixteen-to-nineteen year-old Arabic-speaking-background youths, living and attending school in a south-westem Sydney suburb with a sizeable and well-established Lebanese immigrant community.
