It will deal with the history and expansion of Islam, both as a world religion and civilization, from its birth in the Arabian peninsula in the seventh century to its subsequent spread to other parts of western Asia and North Africa. Issues of religious practices, political governance and movements, gender, social relations and cultural norms will be explored in relation to a number of Islamic societies in the region. The course foregrounds the complexities and diversity present in a critical geographic area of what we call the Islamic world today. administrator Asma Afsaruddin Societies Peace Studies Religion Peace Culture Middle East History North Africa Islam Asma Afsaruddin David Poell 2009-10-14T20:36:21Z Course text/html
