Colatosti Required of:None Electable by:All Offered:Spring Description This survey course uses history to illuminate current conflicts in the Middle East. It asks who the people of the Middle East are--including Arabs, Turks, Persians, Jews, Christians, Muslims, Druzes, and Kurds--and how their multiple religious, political, ethnic, gender, and national identities intertwine to create complex and changing relationships with one another and with the rest of the world. We will examine women's roles, the relationship of religion and state, and the spread of militant Islam, all of which present challenges to Middle Eastern societies and to the world today.
