This course is a historical and sociological examination of the significance of religious traditions as part of a pattern of multiculturalism in American life. Links between religion and social inequality, ethnicity, politics, and the family will be explored as well as the capability of religion to both conserve and innovate. We will survey Native American, Jewish, and Chinese traditions and the impact of growing religious diversity with a rise in other religions, such as Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism..
