| Inhalt | This seminar is intended to acquaint students with key events in North African history and to discuss important themes relevant to the study of modern North Africa. The course highlights many developments in this part of the world whose ramifications run further a field, and focuses on a region that is acquiring greater importance to the study of the Middle East. Geographically situated at the western end of the Arab world, and a short distance from Europe, the Maghrib ("west") has experienced a wide range of events throughout the 20th century that have left an indelible imprint on the region. These include oppressive colonialism, the rise of nationalism, and the struggle for independence. Over the past generation, the region has confronted formidable post-colonial challenges, such as the rise of radical Islamist movements, the emerging tide of immigration from the region to Europe and points beyond, and revolutions that became known as the “Arab Spring”. The course will focus on events that shaped the history of Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia during the 20th century, and discuss their impact on internal developments within these societies. We will analyze these developments with the help of current theoretical literature. These studies will acquaint students with theoretical approaches to colonialism, nationalism, and radical Islam that will be helpful to students in their study of other Arab settings. Students will study these texts and discuss their usage in North African settings, while obtaining familiarity with the region and its challenges. |
