LALS 164 Afro-Diasporic and Indigenous Spirituality

Through comparative methods, this course explores the many ways Afro and Indigenous populations cultivated spiritual connections to and with death and nature. More specifically, we address the ways displacement, forced migration, and enslavement have affected Black and Indigenous peoples' exchange with the land, the water, and the cosmos from the early colonial period through the present. This course focuses specifically on Afro-descended and Indigenous populations in Brazil, Mexico, and Peru.
