| Content | This course is a historical survey of the relations between Muslims and non-Muslims, from the rise of Islam until decolonization. By looking at Muslim scriptures (Quran and Hadith), students first learn about the circumstances in which non-Muslims acquired a legal status under Muslim rule, and follow the changes in their position (ahl al-kitab, dhimma, millet, ta’ifa), under various Muslim Empires. In the second part of the course, students are encouraged to reflect on the impact of the transition between the Ottoman Empire and the modern nation-state after the collapse of the Ottomans, when Jews and Christians technically became “minorities” in secular states. The course focuses on Jews and Christians, but also covers heterodox communities, often considered non-Muslims by Muslim rulers. |
