HIST 327 - History of Modern North Africa

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

Since the 19th century, Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia have found themselves bound up in an intricate series of networks connecting them to Europe to the north, the Middle East to the east and in some instances West Africa to the south. Colonialism and a common colonizer produced similar conditions and concerns in each of the three countries while notions of Arab nationalism, pan-Islamism and Islamic reform joined these countries to their neighbors to the east. However, neither the colonial experience nor the responses to Arab nationalism and Islamic reform were uniform. In this course we will explore these commonalities and differences in the historical experiences of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia and then go on to examine their different efforts to gain independence from their colonial handlers and the different experiences the countries have undergone since independence. 1.00 units, Lecture
