HIST 227 - European Muslims

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

Heirs to many traditions-Hellenist, Roman, Mesopotamia, African, Persian and Central Asian- the medieval and early modern Islamic states' tolerance of other faiths and their patronage of science and arts made them fertile meetings points for cross-cultural exchange and trade. This multidimensional and complex Islamic world ultimately helped shape Europe's Renaissance and informed much of how Europe would understand their relationship with the rest of the world in the Modern era. These issues of social and cultural identity will be studied through the perspective of Europeans (Christians, Jews and Muslims) facing religious diversity within their realm. This perspective will serve as a point of discussion to consider how issues of "Engagement and Exclusion" may ultimately help us rethink European and Middle Eastern hist 1.00 units, Lecture
