Course Description:
This course addresses all geographies with prominent Muslim political, religious, or social presences from the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad in the early seventh century through the rise of the Ottoman Empire in the fifteenth. Major topics include the formation and contestation of Islamic religious and political authority; experiences of women, non-Muslims, and enslaved people; and currents in literature, art and architecture, the sciences, and urban life. Through a mix of scholarly articles and primary sources, special attention will be paid to the methodological challenges facing historians of this period. |
