NEAR EASTERN IDENTITY AND POWER

Catalog description

Historical consciousness course (H).This course focuses comparatively on the way in which historical forces (social, political, religious and economic) have shaped the multiple identities, cultures, and power relationships of the people in two regions once governed by the Ottoman Empire. It also examines the way in which identity, culture and power are represented by "insiders" and by "outsiders" in relation to the issues of nationalism, religion, race, gender, and the challenges of "modernization".Faculty: T.
