Course Description:
This course investigates the emergence of an Islamic civilization that influenced large parts of the Afro-Eurasian world 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; shifting geographies of and expectations for Muslim rule; experiences of women, non-Muslims, and slaves; and trends in literature, the sciences, art and architecture, 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. |
