REL 74.09 Religious Minorities in Britain
This course examines the history of minority religions in Britain from late Antiquity to the present-day. We examine the experience of minority status of adherents of indigenous religions of Britain, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and followers of African and African Diaspora Religions. This is an inter-disciplinary course, utilizing historical, comparative, sociological, and literary perspectives to shed light on the ways in which these minority traditions interacted with the majoritarian Christian churches and were influenced by their minority experience.
