REL 2208 - African American Religious History

Credits: 4
This course examines the religious history of people of African descent in the American colonies and states.  It will focus on the variety and diversity of these religions, and especially between ones transplanted from Africa, those imposed by whites, and religious groups that developed indigenously, noting strands of resemblance and hybridity.  It will explore how religion has shaped black communities and identities in the context of white hegemony and how religion has played a pivotal role for African-American strategies of resistance, liberation, and/or assimilation.
McDaniel Plan: Multicultural, Social, Cultural, and Historical Understanding
