This course examines the expression and representation of Afro-Latin@ religious experience and theology. The context for this exploration will center on the African diaspora and colonialism/post-colonialism in the United States, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Spain. Intersecting factors such as race, gender, sexuality, geography, and class as expressed in literature, film, and popular culture, as well as religious practice and academic theories and methods, will help us consider the topic of study. Students will become well enough versed in the sources, methods, and themes of the Afro-Latin@ reality to understand why Afro-Latin@ theologians interpret religious experience in this manner, opening room for students to reflect on and transform their perspectives on the sacred.
