L75 JINE 573Topics in Near Eastern Cultures: Slavery in the Middle East3.0 Units
Description:This course will examine slavery and its abolition in the Middle East and North Africa from 600 through the present time. Starting from late antique practices of slavery, we will expand our discussion chronologically to cover various forms of slavery as practiced and imagined through the centuries. In addition to theoretical and moral discussions of slavery in pertinent genres of literature, we will be examining household, field, and military slavery as well as the remarkable phenomenon of slave dynasties. We will conclude with the abolition of slavery in the 19th and 20th centuries and discuss the legacy of slavery in the contemporary Middle East. Topics of discussion will include legal and moral views on slavery, forms of male and female slavery, political, military, and economic dimensions of slavery, issues of race and gender as well as slave writings to reflect on experiences of slavery from within. Primary sources in Turkish, Persian, and Arabic will be available for those who have an advanced knowledge in any one of them, but both primary and secondary sources will be in English. The goal is to enable students to understand slavery in the Middle East in its various forms and practices and eventually compare it to that of other regions and cultures, such as European and Atlantic slavery.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
