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 Egypt, 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, anti-colonial organizations, armed rebellion and decolonization. We will also look at the legacies of anti-colonial resistance through some 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.
