HONC 358 - Migrant and Diaspora Religion

Unit(s): 4

In this class, we analyze the reasons people leave their countries of origin, human rights issues during the immigration process, challenges faced when immigrants reach the United States, and the role religious organizations play in these complex negotiations. We focus in particular on San Francisco, one of the most linguistically and culturally diverse cities in the United States, where new migrants often turn to religious groups for help in making sense of their new city and country.
