This course examines the formation of Arab American identity by exploring its origins and several markers of its development. Beginning with the political changes in the Arab Americans' ancestral homelands leading up to WWI, we reconcile the immigrants' feelings of peoplehood with recent studies on aspects of their ethnic, racialized, nationalist, gendered, and assimilative lives. The course addresses responses to the Arab Americans' official status as "white," sample of Arab American feminist writings, manifestations of political awareness in the U.S. in response to political changes in the Middle East, and the Arab Americans' place within studies on ethnicity, gender, and race before and after September 11, 2001. 3.000 Credit hours 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Social Sciences Department Course Attributes: Upper Division

This course is unlike other courses offered by the history discipline in that its primary function is to introduce students to the process of intensive historical inquiry with its end being the production of a high-quality, original research paper. As a seminar, it is intended for advanced concentrators who will research their own specialized topics within the intellectual community of the seminar?providing support and enrichment for the other class members. The general theme for the semester is ?Microhistory.? Within this general rubric we will be focusing upon three major issues: 1) Microhistory as a tool of historical investigation/analysis [i.e., what is microhistory?], 2) the advantages/disadvantages of this approach to historical inquiry [what can it reveal for us?], and 3) employing the technique to produce a discrete microhistorical study [how do we do it?]. The overall purpose of this micro-level approach is to provide a distinct, readily accessible medium through which to consider broader historical trends. 3.000 Credit hours 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Seminar Social Sciences Department Course Attributes: Upper Division
