Section Information for Spring 2016

Since antiquity the Middle East and Europe were intricately connected. Large empires, religious wars, cultural traditions, population movements, trade activity and similar developments led to a shared experience that left an indelible mark on the two sides of the Mediterranean. This course adopts a world historical approach and examines unifying features, interactions, encounters, and shared rhythms between these two entities from the rise of Islam until the expansion of colonialism in the twentieth century. Topics include perceptions of the other, the Crusades, trade networks, and exchanges in arts and ideas.
