Course Description:
Race and religion shape the identity of the individual and its surrounding society. But how do they do that? In this seminar, students explore past and present dynamics of how religion has been utilized in the United States to oppress and empower communities of color. We will cover the role religion has played in slavery and its abolishment, the racialization of Jewish people, and the cultural genocide of indigenous peoples as well as various religions' impact on the Civil Rights and the Black Power movements, the emergence of liberation theologies, and BLM. |
