- Course Catalog Description:
- What we commonly and monolithically refer to as "The Arab World" in fact consists of 22 individual nation-states, each with their own particular historical trajectory and a combined population of nearly 400 million people encompassing a plethora of religious faiths, political orientations, social formations, and individual identities. This course provides a starting point for comprehending this frequently misunderstood part of the world, the diverse peoples who inhabit it, and the myriad cultures they practice. We will address the various problems we encounter when approaching such an unwieldy concept as "The Arab World," key moments that have shaped modern Arab cultures and societies, and examples of how cultural production functions in the context of modern Arab history and politics.
