“Freedom and Unfreedom in the Modern Middle East”
This course focuses on histories of policing, imprisonment, and the quest for freedom in the modern Middle East. It will explore historical experiences ranging from North Africa, to the Arabian Peninsula, the Eastern Mediterranean. We study spectra of freedom and unfreedom in experiences of bondage, slavery, labor, conscription, detention, and punishment. The course will focus on both the lived experiences and microhistories of (un)freedom as well as the institutions and structures that shaped these experiences (police, prisons, households, hospitals, and more.)
