RELG 027. Christian Nationalism, White Supremacy, and Antisemitism

This course works its way backward in time to situate Christian Nationalism in the U.S. as an outgrowth of historical and political manifestations of Christian hegemony and conquest in other parts of the modern and premodern world. We focus on the ways Christianity, Whiteness, patriarchy, anti-Blackness, anti-Islam, and anti-Jewness both intersect and are mutually constituting in different historical periods and geopolitical eras, traversing our way through contemporary, early modern, and premodern empires across Europe and West Asia.
