Description

Pre-requisite: HIS 1301
This course seeks to trace the history of Morocco during the 19th and 20th centuries and to look at the challenges that face the country in the 21st century. Following an overview of the pre-colonial era, the course concentrates on the colonial and postcolonial periods. Taking into consideration the political and economic history of Moroccan society from the advent of colonialism to the present, this course also deals with the social and cultural history of ordinary people and the way they have been affected by various historical forces. The students are introduced to a variety of themes, such as, the colonial encounter, rural and urban resistance, nationalism, working class history, women's history, democracy and the challenges of globalization.
