Semester Offered: Second Semester, First Module
Credits (Range): 1 Hour
Attribute: 1 SS

New Course Added 02.6.2009.

This course will examine several minority populations of the North and South Caucasus regions in terms of their national identity and relationship to the state. A guest scholar from Adygei State University in the south of Russia will provide a general introduction to the culture and history of the Adygei (Circassian) people. Additional lectures and readings will expand treatment to include perspectives from other Caucasian nationalities. Independent research will allow students to place recent headline news of conflicts in the Caucasus into a broader historical perspective.
