Christians in Egypt

Strategies and Survival

Christians in the Middle East have come under increasing pressure in recent years with the rise of radical Islam.

This book examines Egyptian Christians' responses to sectarian pressures in both national and local contexts.

Rezensionen

"Christians in Egypt is a fascinating ethnography crafted with skill and clarity for a general readership. Andrea Rugh's admiration for Madame Ansaf shines through, along with her sensitivity to the daily challenges of Christian and Muslim women learning how to live in a rapidly changing Bulaq together." (Angie Heo, The Middle East Journal, 2016)
