Description
Introduction / Morris Rossabi: -- This curricular guide, intended for use by teachers in high schools and of introductory college courses, is one of several Asia Society projects designed to foster the study of Islamic communities in Asia east of Iraq as an important and little-studied part of Asia in history and today. The education division at the Asia Society has originated these programs not only as part of its general mission to educate Americans about Asia, but also in response to educators' requests for materials about the history, land, peoples, beliefs and cultures of the majority Muslim areas of Asia, which tend to be poorly resourced and infrequently studied at all levels of American education.
