Course Catalog Description:: Diversity of social/cultural interactions between Muslims and Jews and between Islam and Judaism since 1700. What enabled the two religious communities to peacefully coexist? What were causes of conflict? Why is history of Muslim-Jewish relations such a contested issue?
Class Description:: Jews and Muslim have coexisted and influenced each other over many centuries, especially in the Middle East and North Africa. While Muslim-Jewish relations in the 20th century have often been characterized exclusively by bitter enmity, in earlier centuries the interactions of Muslims and Jews have been characterized as a symbiotic relationship by some and a state of perpetual tension and conflict by others. This course will examine the diversity of social and cultural interactions between Muslims and Jews and between Islam and Judaism since 1700. It seeks to answer the question: what enabled the two religious communities to peacefully coexist and what were the causes of conflict? Why is the history of Muslim-Jewish relations such a contested issue today?
