RELG-676 Religion and Black Bodies of Resistance (3)


This course explores religion as it is embodied in the styles, rhythms, and practices of people of African descent in the Americas. Students examine African American encounters with systematic attempts to deny their humanity, and the manner in which they have embodied religion and spirituality, to create critical and perhaps invaluable models of resistance.
