Assessment of historical situations should help us better understand the pre-modern and modern Islamic societies

This course will explore a brief history of the rise of Islam as a major world religion and early events in the Islamic world. The focus will also be on deep aspects of culture, politics, ethnicity and socioeconomic dimen-sions of Islamic societies. The tenets of Islam will be examined in light of gender issues as well as an investi-gation of different cultural, political and sectarian categories. The Golden Age and the rise of high culture with achievements in science, philosophy and literature are also central themes of this course.

Books and copies will be provided at the beginning of the semester
