Religious Cultures of African and African Diaspora Peoples

The course explores the co-existence of traditional African religious cultures and Christianity on the continent and among various African Diasporas in the Americas. Our approach is interdisciplinary. We read anthropological and cultural studies theories of African-derived religious practices that crossed the Atlantic during the slave trade and continue into present societies and cultural productions. Students must have completed first-year requirements of their majors.
