RLST189G PO - Hip-Hop as an Afro-Diasporic ReligionWhen Offered: One-time only; fall 2018.
Instructor(s): J. Gill
Credit: 1
This course explores hip-hop from its inception in the early seventies until the present as a movement and way of being that descends from the Afro-diasporic post-colonial search for meaning. This quest for meaning that hip-hop embodies will be considered as religious in that it could be said to serve the same function for Afro-diasporic people (among others) as the world religions. Attention will be given to Afro-diasporic methods of communication, ritual, quests for holistic justice, and critical race theories as they present themselves in the tapestry of hip-hop culture in all of its perpetually evolving elements as religious. Letter grade only.
