  • HIST 336: Seminar.The Middle East and World War I,1914-1923

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Rollman Gallipoli and ?Lawrence of Arabia? figure most prominently in Hollywood films and published accounts of World War I in the Middle East. The region's involvement in the ?Great War? was, however, much more complicated than such popular accounts suggest. Turkey, Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and North Africa were theaters of military operations. The entire region was the object of intense diplomatic efforts too, as European powers, especially Great Britain and France, confronted the demands of war, their competing interests, and the challenge of emergent nationalism among Kurds, Jews, Arabs, Iranians, Armenians, and Turks living there. Using primary and secondary sources, students will explore and analyze the pivotal transformations initiated and shaped by the war and the creation of new nation-states in its after math. Prerequisite: Normally open to juniors and seniors who have taken a grade II unit in history and/or a grade II unit in a relevant area/subject. Distribution: Historical Studies Semester: Spring Unit:

Close attention will be paid to such formative national experiences as the Holocaust; the struggle for independence; the social and political consequences of mass immigration; the 1967, 1973, and Lebanon wars; the Palestinian intifadas; Israel's relations with its Arab citizens and neighbors; Jewish settlements; and the ?post-Zionist? revision of Israeli national histor y.

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Kapteijns NOT OFFERED IN 2009-10. In the last decade, Muslim scholars and writers have become major contributors to the study (and history) of women in Islamic societies. They have undertaken a critique of older (including Western feminist) scholarship and proposed new theoreti-cal approaches and methods. This seminar will focus on this new historiography and the insights it provides into the history of women and gender issues from the time of the Prophet to the present. Student research papers will focus on concrete case studies of women in specif-ic Islamic societies and time periods, from North Africa and Western Europe to South Africa, Afghanistan and China.

  • HIST 365: Seminar.Research in African History

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Kapteijns NOT OFFERED IN 2009-10. This seminar is organized around four broad and overlapping themes of recent African historiography rele-vant to the period 1960 to the present. In this period, African societies tried to overcome the legacies of colonial rule, and to fashion na-tional identities and establish nation-states. However, due to external and internal causes, the successes of the 1960s and 1970s began to falter in the 1980s and 1990s-in many cases leading to violence in the form of civil and other wars. This seminar focuses on African ex-pressions-the fancy word is ?mediations?-of these historical changes, with a particular emphasis on popular culture broadly construed, i.e., including a wide range of media from the writing of history and journalism, to literary representations of history, and the popular arts such as popular song and television programs. The four central themes of the seminar are: colonialism, nationalism, and modernity; wom-en and gender; the historical roots of modern conflicts; and popular culture broadly construed. Students will be encouraged to work with primary sour ces.

  • HIST 369: Seminar.History,Identity,and Civil War in the Sudan

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Kapteijns The deeper causes of the recent civil wars in the Sudan lie in the complex processes of state-formation that have placed different groups of Sudanese in a differential relationship to power and have produced divisive class, ethnic, and racial identities. Themes will include the history of slavery, the rise of an ?Arab? middle class in the northern Nile valley, colonial policies, the first civil war between North and South that erupted at independence in 1956, the missed opportunities of the first decades of independence, and the rise of an Islamist oil state in the 1980s, which led to renewed civil war with the South and, since 2003, to war and humanitarian disaster in Darfur .
