491. Proseminar on the Arab World. (3). (Excl).
This course is a Proseminar, aimed at both graduate students and at upperclass undergraduates
with a good background in Middle Eastern History. It will cover
selected aspects of the cultural and social history of the modern
Arab world. Past proseminars have dealt with issues in the impact
of colonialism, of urbanization, and of religious revivalism.
Typically the class will read a monograph a week for the first
half of the course. The second half will be devoted to the presentation
and class discussion of students' projects. All students will
produce a 20 page term paper, which will represent 90% of their
grade (class participation will account for the other 10%). The
average reading for the course will be around 150 pages per week, and the writing requirement is rigorous, requiring the production
of a rough draft for critique and then a final polished version
of the paper. (Cole)
