Section Information for Spring 2012
By 1926 the Mediterranean had become a “British lake” with its chain of possessions—Gibraltar, Malta, Cyprus, and Suez—upsetting Mussolini’s own plan for an Italian Mediterranean. But the war for Greek independence from the Ottoman Empire, beginning in 1821 and ending with the Treaty of Constantinople in 1832, had foretold future nationalist achievements including the Ionian Islands (1859-1864), Crete (1894-1898), Cyprus (1960), Algeria (1962), and Malta (1964). This course examines these processes of decolonization and nation building in the Mediterranean. We will also discuss culture, society, economics, and migration; the idea of a “globalized Mediterranean” in the twentieth century; and briefly, Mediterranean independence movements in 2011. Particular attention will be paid to Algeria and France; Italy, Sicily, and Malta; and Greece, Turkey, and Cyprus.View 3 Other Sections of this Course in this Semester »
