RLG 218 - Race, Sex, and God in Blues Literature (3 Cr.)
There are many ways in which one can enter a conversation with the Blues. This course will enter that conversation from a cultural/theological perspective. The focus of this conversation is to discern what the Blues tells us about the rich complexity of black lives and black faith. Special attention will be given to what the blues tells us about the meaning of race, sex, and God for and in the black church. This will be achieved by examining a diverse genre of Blues literature: music, poetry, fiction, documentary, interpretative discourse. The classic blues tradition will be highlighted. Prerequisite: Sophomore standing. Offered Fall 2013 and every third year. Douglas.
