Arabian Seas: Islam, Trade and Empire in the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean

Course Description

Rather than a traditional "area studies" approach to Middle Eastern history, we will explore the region¿s history from its maritime frontiers: the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean. We explore how nobles, merchants, slaves, sailors, and statesmen all forged the contours of a shared world, linking the economic and political histories of Arabia, Africa, South and Southeast Asia.
