Class Description:: Egypt is the most populous country in the Arab world and it has throughout the modern era played a central role in the history of the region and set trends in the political, socio-economic, cultural and intellectual spheres. The course examines the history of modern Egypt. It reviews the main political events, as well as the underlying social, economic and intellectual issues that have shaped the history of this country in the 19th and 20th century. The course combines a chronological approach to the study of the history of modern Egypt with a more thematic focus on main issues and trends. Topics to be covered include: the impact of colonialism, imperialism, the rise of the national movement, the "failure" of the liberal experiment, the uses and abuses of the 1952 Revolution and its legacy, and the rise of Islamist movements.
