Religion and Race Series Event
Black Buddhism as Religio-Racial Identity in the Early Twentieth Century Virtual Lounge Seminar
Adeana McNicholl
Monday, September 21, 2020
4:30 pm EST

Adeana McNicholl is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Vanderbilt University. Her research focuses on early South Asian Buddhism and Buddhism and race in North America.

This talk brings together the histories of the transmission of Buddhism to the United States, the emergence of new Black religio-racial movements in the early twentieth century, and the geopolitics of World War II. I trace the religious and racial formations of a single figure, Sufi Abdul Hamid (1903–1938), attending to both how Hamid understood his own religio-racial identity and how that identity was constructed by others following his death.

Sponsored by Department of Religion – Co-sponsored by the Center for the Study of Religion’s Buddhist Studies Workshop
