| Description: | HIS-200: Empires and Cultures of the "Middle East." This course surveys the history of the region from Morocco to Iran (and beyond), called variously the Near East, the Middle East, North Africa, the Maghreb, Al Jazeera . . . from the origins of Islamic Arabia to the modern post-colonial period. A focus on empire will take us from Persia and Byzantium to Britain, with our main focus on the Arabic and Ottoman empires of the medieval and modern period, including Muhammed and the Arabic conquests andcolonization of the region. We will consider the links between the "Middle East" that we know of today and these ancient regional empires as well as the cultural blend that comes to be called "Middle Eastern," which we'll explore via food and film as well as history. 1 Credit, No prerequisites. |
