Section Information for Spring 2012
The course explores Islam and Muslim history from the sixth to the twentieth century in its world-historical context. As peoples in a regional society covering a geographic range from the eastern shores of the Atlantic to China and Southeast Asia on the Pacific, Muslims were deeply engaged in the global histories of empire, trade, and the transmission of ideas and the arts during a period spanning fourteen centuries. The course includes political history but its focus is on the changing social, cultural, intellectual and economic processes and patterns of interaction with other societies. Students will engage with a variety of primary and secondary sources and have the opportunity to research an area of their choice in greater depth. A main assigned text and a short world history overview will be augmented by articles, book chapters, films, and online resources.View 6 Other Sections of this Course in this Semester »
