Introduction to the Islamic World
Where did Islam originate? Why did the new culture establish itself so successfully from the western shores of the Mediterranean to central Asia? This course examines the political, economic, social, and intellectual history of the Islamic world from shortly before Islam's birth in the 7th century, through the heyday of Islamic civilization (9th and 10th centuries) to the period of political fragmentation that followed. It culminates in the fall of Granada (1492).
