RLST046 PO - Black Power, Black Theology, to #BlackLivesMatterWhen Offered: Fall 2018.
Instructor(s): Staff
Credit: 1
This course examines the various ideas, pieties, and consequences of the Black Power era to the present. We chart the explicit and implicit utopian visions of the politics of this time period. We also explore an often obscured history of the Black Power era, which is the attempt by James Cone, the father of Black liberation theology, to translate the idiom of Black Power into Christian theological discourse. Our aim is to keep in view the significance of the Black Power era for understanding the changing role and place of Black religion in African American public life, including giving special attention to #BlackLivesMatter. Letter grade only.
