CHST 144 CH - Latina/o Religions and Culture

This course surveys and examines the role of religion in the development of U.S. Latina/o identities, identities forged in the expansive borderlands of North America (including the U.S, the northernmost “country” of Latin America). Though narratives of Christian history will figure prominently, the course is not strictly about Christianity in itself, but rather Christianity in dialectical contact with its Other. The study of the complexity of contact between Christian and non-Christian (indigenous, African, etc.) traditions and practices will lead us to a consideration of the diversity of expression and thought within Latino/a and Latin American religious life.
