This article examines the intersection of racial and religious identity among progressive US Christians in the context of transnational travel. We approach our analysis through a comparative ethnographic study of two majority-Black and two majority-white Christian Palestinian solidarity tours, representing mainline, evangelical, and historically Black Protestant progressive theological traditions. We conceptualize majority-white tours as “journeys to the margins” and majority-Black tours as “journeys among the margins,” considering how the racial makeup and theological orientation of trips offer a range of affordances for meaning-making, identity construction, and solidarity-building. Using Judith Weisenfeld’s religio-racial framework, we focus on how participants’ progressive Christian values are embedded in divergent racial schemas. Attending to how the logics of these schemas are reinforced or interrogated in transnational encounters, we extend Weisenfeld’s concept from the nation-state to the transnational as we examine how participants reproduce, revise, and re-envision religio-racial frameworks.

边缘之旅：美国基督教巴勒斯坦团结之旅中的跨国宗教种族认同

本文探讨了跨国旅行背景下进步的美国基督徒种族和宗教身份的交叉点。我们通过对两个黑人占多数的基督教巴勒斯坦团结之旅和两个白人占多数的基督教巴勒斯坦团结之旅的比较人种学研究来进行分析，这些旅行代表了主流、福音派和历史上黑人新教进步神学传统。我们将白人占多数的旅游概念化为“边缘之旅”，将黑人占多数的旅游概念化为“边缘之旅”，考虑到旅行的种族构成和神学取向如何为意义建构、身份建构和团结建设。利用朱迪思·魏森菲尔德的宗教种族框架，我们关注参与者进步的基督教价值观如何嵌入不同的种族模式中。关注这些图式的逻辑如何在跨国遭遇中得到强化或质疑，我们在考察参与者如何复制、修改和重新构想宗教种族框架时，将魏森菲尔德的概念从民族国家扩展到跨国。
