Ahmed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Course Description:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the end of the First World War, European powers had colonized much of the Middle East, triggering strong responses from the peoples of the region. In this course, we will focus on various forms of resistance to British and French colonialism in the Middle East in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. By taking an in-depth look at Greater Syria and Algeria, we will cover the following themes: similarities and differences between British and French forms of colonial rule, colonial government and bureaucracy, colonial education, mediating elites and colonial citizenship, anti-colonial thought and preparation for self-rule, as well as anti-colonial organizations, armed rebellion and decolonization. We will also look at the legacies of anti-colonial resistance through selected readings from the more contemporary period, including fiction and film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Organization:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This class will meet in person. It will be organized into three-hour seminars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":520,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_description_type":[],"class_list":["post-27749","cu_description","type-cu_description","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_description\/27749","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_description"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_description"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/520"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_description\/27749\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27750,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_description\/27749\/revisions\/27750"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27749"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_description_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_description_type?post=27749"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
