Description:

Surveys Middle Eastern history from the era of Sulayman the Magnificent, the sixteenth-century Ottoman sultan, to the end of the twentieth century. Geographically, focuses on the lands of the former Ottoman Empire, Persia, and Iran. Thematically, focuses on the transformation of state and society under the impact of a changing world economy and European colonialism. Traces the transformation of powerful world empires in the sixteenth century, based on religious and dynastic authority, into secular, often military-ruled nation-states in the twentieth century. Also follows the Islamic fundamentalist backlashes that these developments provoked.
