HIST 715 - Nationalism, Islamism and the Struggle for Identity in the Modern Arab World3 credits
Beginning in the late 19th century, and continuing to the present, the Arab world has been deeply torn by conflicting visions of collective political identity and order. Both secular nationalists and those with religiously-based visions have struggled, both amongst themselves and with each other, to command popular support and exert political control. This course examines the history of this ongoing struggle from 1850 to the present. Beginning with rising indigenous resistance to European colonialism and imperialism in the second half of the nineteenth-century, the course considers the emergence of localized secular nationalism, regional pan-Arab nationalism and various expressions of Islamism.
