MUS 121 SC - Music of the Spirits: Hawaiian, Balinese and Tewa Pueblo Indian


In this course, we assess how systemic discrimination and exploitation of Asian/Pacific Islanders and Native Americans impacted sacred musical traditions by studying histories of cultural contact and conflict with dominant settler “civilization”. Readings draw upon writings and interviews by minority scholars speaking about their own cultures, in addition to respected local scholars in the area. These sacred musical practices are not only imbedded within indigenous religious traditions, they represent ongoing shifts in societal and religious perspectives. 

Course Credit: 1.0
Offered: Occasionally
