The Problem with Post-Colonial Settler Theory: 1300 Years of Arab and Ottoman Empire and Colonization - Bundle Eligible   

From the 7th century CE to the early 20th century, Arab and later Ottoman Islamist rulers governed one of the largest and longest-lasting empires in world history—stretching from the Atlantic Ocean across North Africa to the Middle East, India, and Southeast Asia. Despite its vast influence, this empire is often overlooked in post-colonial settler theory, particularly in the work of Edward Said and his intellectual successors. This course revisits the historical scope and legacy of this Islamic imperial system and examines how its long reach continues to shape conflict and political identity in regions such as Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. By re-centering this critical history, participants will gain a deeper understanding of ongoing struggles rooted in the dynamics of empire and ideology.

Live In-Person with Video Catch-up. Available 2-3 business days after the live lecture.
