This book, first ethnographic attempt, examines negated spaces, practices, and relationships that have been intentionally or unintentionally dismissed from academic and non-academic studies, articles, reports, and policy papers that investigate and debate the experiences of Coptic Orthodox Christians in Egypt. By taking the Coptic identity and faith to bars, liquor stores, coffeehouses, weed gatherings, prisons, casinos, night clubs, brothels, dating applications, and porn sites, this book argues that airing out this “dirty laundry” points to the limits of victimhood and activist narratives that shape the representation of Coptic grievances and interests on both national and internationa...

This book explores the significance of alcohol in the Middle East and Maghreb as a powerful catalyst of social and political division. It shows that the solidarities and polarities created by disputes over alcohol are built on arguments far more complex than oppositions on religion or consumption alone. In a region in which alcohol is banned by Islamic rules, yet allows its production and consumption, alcohol has always been contentious. However, this volume examines the different forms of social authority – religious, cultural and political – to offer a new understanding of drinking behaviours in the Middle East and North Africa. It suggests that alcohol, being at the same time an impor...

Hiç kuşkusuz din, dindarın kişilik, eylem ve ahlakını şekillendiren güçtür. Dinin sahibi ve kanun koyucusu Allah, nasıl yaşanacağını hayatıyla gösteren peygamber, yaşayacak olan da dindar insandır. Hz. Peygamber de dindar kimliğinin çerçevesini çizerken üç kelime üzerinden betimlemiştir. Bunlardan ilki İslam’dır. İslam, bir insanın “bilerek ve de isteyerek Allah’ın emir ve yasaklarına uymasıdır.” Bir başka deyişle Allah’ın emirlerine gönülden boyun eğmektir. Dinin sahibi olan Allah’a teslim olmaktır. İkinci kelime imandır. İman, “dil ile ikrar, kalp ile tasdiktir.” Tasdikin yeri kalptir. Bu nedenle Allah Müminin kalbini evi olarak...

With its focus on wartime sexual violence, this book examines the traumatic memories of wartime rape in context of contemporary theories of war. The translated testimonials of the raped women of the Bangladesh war emphasize the importance of critical discussion on gendered violence, war trauma, and the restructuring of policies regarding recovery and rehabilitation of the war victims, especially in the global South.
The situation of Christians in the Middle East has become an important topic of international discussion as well as an important theme covered in the media, as several CBS Sixty Minutes programs have highlighted the plight of Christians in Palestine, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Egypt.

The book places the situation of the Christians within the wider sociopolitical c...
