1 The Deen Imagined: Studying American Islam through Literature Boston Islamic Seminary Continuing Education Fall 2018 Dates: Sundays, Sept 16 th, 23 rd, 30 th, and Oct 7 th Time: 1-4p Place: Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center 100 Malcolm X Blvd, Roxbury, MA Instructor: Dr. Noor Hashem Boston University CAS Center for Writing Muhammad Ali, one of the most well-known American Muslims, famously said: I am America. I am the part you won't recognize. But get used to me. Black, confident, cocky; my name, not yours; my religion, not yours; my goals, my own; get used to me. His is just one of the many articulations of what Islam in America looks like, and it introduces a whole set of questions: How do Muslims fit within the American narrative? Who articulates that narrative? How has that narrative changed over time, and who has helped to reimagine it? Which articulations are privileged and celebrated, which institutions secular, religious authorize it, and how do these narratives relate to cultural and political ideas of freedom, agency, dissent, race, class, immigration, gender, pluralism and equality? These are some of the questions we will begin to unpack in this class. The course is structured to explore the diversity of the Muslim American population in the United States and to discover the depth of its history. The course will also thematically introduce some of the debates and concerns that are brought up about Muslims such as terrorism and those brought up by Muslims such as gender equality. We will visit these topics through scholarship and, in many cases, will examine our questions further through literature, music and film, such as Wajahat Ali s play The Domestic Crusaders, rap by Lupe Fiasco and Mos Def, and Spike Lee s 1992 film Malcolm X. Required Texts All texts and links to assigned readings will be available on Moodle
2 2 COURSE POLICIES I expect you to be responsible and respectful to your peers and instructor. The following are some basic, but not comprehensive, guidelines; you should follow the spirit of intellectual rigor and interpersonal etiquette even where I have not specified. Attendance and Participation To be considered present for a class, you must be on time and ready to actively participate, bringing with you all the assigned readings, materials, and written work for the day. As this will be a discussionbased course, you will be expected to engage deeply with the material before the class, so that you can produce questions and critiques which we will discuss as a class. For this reason, if you are more than 15 minutes late for a class, you will be considered absent. The readings specified on the course calendar reflect the texts scheduled for discussion on that day, and must be read ahead of that class. Since we will be covering a significant amount of disparate reading each day, I strongly encourage you to read the assignments in chunks over the course of the week, rather than attempting to read them all in one day. Assignments and Grading During the class, you will receive handouts that further explain the requirements of the assignments listed below. Participation: 20% Short Reflections (2): 10% Creative Project: 30% Essay: 40% Due Dates: Sun, Sept 16 Sun, Sep 30 by 9p Mon, Oct 8 by 9p Sun, Oct 21 by 9p In-Class Self-Reflection: What Islam means to me, course expectations (1-2p) Reading Reflection: What most surprised and engaged me (2-3p) Creative Project (song, poems, comic, or standup routine) Essay (5-7p) Academic Integrity Each student is expected to adhere to academic honesty.
