This subject examines the history of Islamic societies between the 19th and 21st centuries. It addresses the major events of the period through a critical examination of the complex interplay of internal factors (religion, race and culture) and external factors (global conflicts and Western dominance). Students will consider political and social changes attributed to the demise of the Ottoman, Mughal and Safavid Empires and the emergence of national states. The effects of European colonisation on the development of the Muslim world, and the theological, political, legal, cultural, and spiritual changes occurring during the modern era of Islamic history will be considered.
