RELG 123 - Race and Religion in James Baldwin and Frantz Fanon Semester Offered: First Semester Full Course Credits: 4 credits Attribute: 4HU, WINT
Drawing from the literary and non-fiction work of American writer James Baldwin and the anti-colonial work of the Caribbean-born Frantz Fanon, this course examines the historical intersection of race, colonialism, and religion. The course asks: in what ways can/should the Black American experience be thought in relation to colonialism and national liberation struggles? How does religion interact with and give shape to subjects in these historical contexts? Is religion a tool of oppression or a site of hope and liberation?
