Section Description
In this course, we will examine the relationship between religion and politics in Islamic history, from the rise of Islam in seventh-century Arabia until modern times. The course will focus on the historical trends in the Middle East and North Africa, but also make occasional references to the Indian subcontinent. Through a chronological and thematic approach, we will explore relevant examples of politicized Islam such as the notion of the Caliphate, the rise of Sunni and Shiite governments, the development of various forms of Islamic radicalism and reform, reactions to secularism and colonialism, and modern Islamic political activism. No prior knowledge of Islam is required; those possessing prior knowledge are, however, welcomed. Prerequisite: Three credits History Concentration: Africa/Asia/Middle East/Global (HI04)
