ASM 519 – Antisemitism in the Muslim World

This course delves into the historical, cultural, and political dimensions of antisemitism in Muslim-majority countries and communities. Through critical analysis of primary sources, scholarly literature, and contemporary media, students will explore the diverse manifestations of antisemitism within Islamic societies, spanning from the medieval era to the present day. The course will examine the complex interplay of religious, political, and social factors shaping attitudes towards Jews and Judaism, including historical interactions, theological interpretations, and geopolitical tensions. Additionally, students will engage with case studies and comparative analyses to understand variations in antisemitic discourse and practices across different regions and contexts. By the conclusion of the course, students will develop a nuanced understanding of the multifaceted nature of antisemitism in the Muslim world, enabling them to contribute to informed dialogue, advocacy, and policymaking aimed at combating prejudice and promoting interfaith understanding.
