Latinx Spiritual Movements: Legacies of Latinx Religious Activism.

Catalog description

Examines the ways in which spiritual and religious identities have influenced Chicanx and Latinx communities in the United States and how these identities have facilitated political and cultural movements. Through a critical, intersectional, and interdisciplinary approach from the lens of Chicanx Studies, this course addresses how race, class, gender, sexuality, and other systems of inequalities have shaped Chicanx/Latinx spirituality. This course conceptually examines ways spirituality has historically and contemporarily functioned as a powerful aspect of resistance and solidarity within Chicanx and Latinx political and social movements.
