Latina/o Religion, Law and Identity
Department(s)
Long Description (Catalog Description)
This course examines the role of religion and law in the formation of identity by exploring the notion that identity, including race, is a social construct by examining how various immigrant groups from around the world were and are shaped by religion and the American legal process. In particular, we will consider Latinos/as in the U.S. as an example of how law and religion shape a cultural group's identity as well as how law and religion impact cultural and global self-understanding.
