HIS5183 WOMEN, IMPERIALISM & ISLAM

This course will familiarize students with the growing body of literature that examines the roles and positions of women in post colonial, Islamic societies and look in particular at 19th- and 20th-century Egypt. We will look at how modernization, colonization, independence and radicalism have affected women's real, lived experiences and contributed toward the manufacture of idealized, female behavior.
