When American anthropologist Andrea Rugh rented a room in a small Syrian village, hoping to find time to finish a book she was writing, she never expected to be drawn so deeply into the lives of her neighbors.

Christians in Egypt: Strategies and Survival
ISBN: 9781137568687 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Christians in the Middle East have come under increasing pressure in recent years with the rise of radical Islam. Nowhere is this truer than in Egypt, where the large Coptic Christian community has traditionally played an important role in the country's history and politics. This book examines Christian responses to sectarian pressures in two contexts: nationally as Church leaders deal with Egyptian presidents and locally as a community of poor Christians cope in a mostly-Muslim quarter of Cairo. This intensive study, based on the author's five years of research in Bulaq, looks at existential...

Some of the tales appeared in rhyming verse in Arabic and some were based on events that are said to have actually taken...
