Ethnicity, Religion, and Class in the Middle East and the Balkans


HIST 311
Spring 2016 not offered
Crosslisting: RELI 311
Certificates: International Relations, Jewish and Israel Studies, Middle Eastern Studies
Course Cluster: Christianity Studies

The dissolution of empires, Ottoman and Soviet, produced dramatic changes in the economic and social structure of the Middle East and the Balkans, leading to the emergence of new, competing social identities. This course will examine issues of nationalism versus religious identities; class struggle versus anti-Western struggle; and the changing role of the minorities, both religious and ethnic, in the larger society in the 19th- and 20th-century Middle East and Balkans.
