Section Notes

This course aims to provide a general overview of Middle Eastern Islamic history from the rise of Islam in the 7th century AD to the present, with concentration on the cross-cultural interactions and conflicts between Islamic societies of the Middle East and the West and the influences both civilizations have had on each other throughout history. Particular attention will be on birth of Islam to the end of the Abbasid Empire, the Crusades, the Mongol invasions, the Ottoman territorial expansion, European intrusion into and colonization of Islamic states of the Middle East and Middle Eastern responses to Western hegemony and the new social, economic, and political developments of the 20th and 21st centuries that have shaped the relationships.
