Course Catalog Description:: From the "Age of Discovery" and the African slave trade, to Malcolm X and the War on Terror, Islam has long been an integral part of the American landscape. In this seminar students will examine the history of Islam and social formation of Muslim communities in the United States. We will explore the ways in which racial, national, cultural, and sectarian differences within and between Muslim communities have shaped and shifted what it means to be Muslim in the United States. And, we will ask what tracing the history of Islam can tell us about the role of religion in the United States more broadly.
Class Description:: Student may contact the instructor or department for information.
