In light of the Egyptian uprising in early 2011, understanding the
dynamics that are shaping Egyptian politics and society is more
crucial than ever as Egypt seeks to re-define itself after the
Mubarak era. One of the most controversial debates concerns the
place of religion in Egypt's political future. This book examines
the escalation in religious violence in Egypt since 2005 and the
public discourses behind it, revealing some of the complex
negotiations that lie behind contestations of citizenship,
Muslim-Christian relations and national unity. Focusing on Egypt's
largest religious minority group, the Coptic Orthodox Christians,
this book explores how national, ethnic and religious expressions
of identity are interwoven in the narratives and usage of the press
and Internet. In doing so it offers insights into some of Egypt's
contemporary social and political challenges, and recognises the
ways that media are involved in constructing and reflecting
formations of identity politics. The author examines in depth the
processes through which identity and belonging are negotiated via
media discourses within the wider framework of changing political
realities in Egypt. Using a combination of methodological
approaches - including comprehensive surveys and content analysis -
the research offers a fresh perspective on the politics of identity
in Egypt.
