HIST 635: Problems in European History

HIST 635-003: Mediterran World 1821-Present
(Fall 2012)

04:30 PM to 07:10 PM W

Planetary Hall 224

Section Information for Fall 2012

This course gives graduate students the opportunity to read, critically analyze, and discuss the major scholarly work on the history of the modern Mediterranean world, beginning with the Greek War for Independence in 1821. Through these readings we will examine the processes of European colonialism, revolution, decolonization, and nation building in the Mediterranean region. We will also consider culture, society, economics, and migration, and briefly the "Arab Spring" of 2011. Students should be prepared to read a book or significant article each week, write a one-page review and analysis, and discuss it with the class. Particular attention will be paid to Algeria and France; Italy, Sicily, and Malta; and Greece, Turkey, and Cyprus, but students will be encouraged to focus on an area of individual interest with the approval of the instructor. This course fulfills the “1789-1914” or “1914 to Present” requirement in European History.
