The topic of this seminar is Black Atlantic Religion. We will study the religious beliefs, institutions and dialogues of African and African-origin communities across the Atlantic world. The class will focus on the transnational relationships of black communities across different time periods to examine how religion has informed slavery, identity, colonialism, revolutions, nationalism, globalization, and popular culture.
