Egypt's Identities in Conflict
Egypt's lack of a common national identity is the basis for much of its internal conflict--Coptic Christians have been particularly affected. Once major contributors to Christian civilization, their influence ended with the fifth century Council of Chalcedon and they endured persecution. With the seventh century Arabization of Egypt, Copts were given dhimma or "protected persons" status. The 1919 Revolution granted them greater political participation, but the 1952 Revolution ended liberal democracy and established a military regime that championed Arab identity. Secular Egyptians rebelled against the Mubarak regime in 2011, yet his successor was the Muslim Brotherhood's Mohamed Morsi, Egypt's first Islamist president. In yet another revolution over national identity, secular factions ousted Morsi in 2013 while in the chaos that followed, the Copts suffered the brunt of violence.

Constitutional Identity and Constitutionalism in Africa
In its modern history, Africa has experienced different waves of constitutional ordering. The latest democratisation wave, which began in the 1990s, has set the stage over the past decade for what is now a hotly debated issue: do recent, new, or fundamentally revised constitutions truly reflect an African constitutional identity? Thoughtfully navigating a contested field, this volume brings to the fore a number of foundational questions about African constitutionalism. Constitutional Identity and Constitutionalism in Africa asks whether the concept of constitutional identity clarifies our understanding of constitutional change in Africa, including an exploration of the relationship between c...
The Crusades: Motives, Methods and Moments
Although the crusades ended several hundred years ago, they remain a vexed issue today, not least for Muslims, who seem to evoke the crusades whenever the problem of contemporary Muslim violence is discussed. President Obama’s National Prayer Breakfast speech suggested that the crusades have robbed the West of the right to criticise Islamic violence. Were the crusades holy wars? Were there any other motives behind the crusades? Why have popes recently apologised to Muslims for the crusades? The crusades are examined against Christian and Muslim standards. Did the Roman Catholic Church use the Word of God appropriately? Could the crusades have been prevented by an earlier Protestant Reformation? The issue of a Just War is discussed. Can the crusades be justified from a Christian point of view? What preceded the crusades in Christian-Muslim relations? Are Muslims the victims of the crusades? Can the House of Islam justify continuing their war on Christians today because of the crusades? What can be learnt from the crusades?

Narrative religiöser Diversität aus dem Nahen Osten und Nordafrika
Das Zusammenleben in der religiösen und kulturellen Vielfalt einer Migrationsgesellschaft braucht Narrative, mit denen positive Bilder im Kopf entstehen können. Mit den migrierten Menschen kommen aus ihren Herkunftsländern nicht nur religiöse Konflikte, sondern auch solche Narrative zu uns. Wussten Sie, dass Christen und Muslime in Äthiopien und Eritrea erzählen, dass der christliche äthiopische König zur Zeit des Propheten Mohammed den ersten Muslimen in seinem Land Asyl gewährt haben soll? Andere Narrative sollten wir aus unserer eigenen Geschichte neu erinnern. Macht es Sie neugierig zu erfahren, dass die ersten Christen in Deutschland People of Colour waren? Es waren koptische N...

Buku yang disajikan dengan telaah Manajemen Pendidikan melalui pendekatan kesejarahan ini akan membuka cakrawala para pembaca tentang, “Mungkinkah Islamisasi terjadi dengan kekerasan di wilayah yang dahulunya kesohor sebagai pusat pendidikan Buddhisme di Asia Tenggara?.” Melalui pembacaan karya ini diharapkan publik dapat memahami ikhtiar para pendahulu kita dalam mengelola keberagaman (Plurality) serta memahami relasi antar-agama yang kompleks dan tak selalu harmonis.

Bedouin, Settlers, and Holiday-Makers
The arid regions impose strict limits upon human existence and activity. And yet by respecting those limits, the flourishing and stable culture of these regions has for centuries been sustained. In the late twentieth century, however, forces such as modernization, globalization, and the politics and economics of nations became so great that major changes in the old ways had to take place for the sake of survival. Egypt's northwest coast, where meager coastal rains have supported a sparse but thriving population of Bedouin, saw the arrival of settlers from the Nile Valley, accustomed to a very different way of life and production, and hordes of tourists whose "empty, silent structures" effect...
