Institution:

University of Chicago

Subject:

Description:

This class surveys the modern history of Iraq. We consider the state's changing relationships with the British Empire and reflect on the ways in which colonized Iraqi elites responded to and appropriated the Western civilizing mission. We also focus on disciplinary institutions that emerged during colonial and post-colonial periods, as well as attempts to investigate how they changed over time. In particular, we examine such institutions as the Iraqi educational system, the modern Iraqi army, and the Baath party. O. Bashkin. Autumn.
