DESCRIPTION
This course will provide students with a panoramic view of the influence that spirituality and religion have had in Latin America. Latin America is one of the regions with the most variety of spiritual expressions. There is everything from the Budu in Brazil to the most recent expressions of the Islam, Judaism and Christianity through the whole continent.
