Egypt is considered the intellectual birthplace of the modern
Islamic movements and is a center of contemporary Islamic thought
and culture. It is also home to one of the oldest Christian
populations in the world. In this book, Peter Makari considers the
role of governmental and nongovernmental actors in conflict
resolution and the promotion of positive Christian-Muslim relations
in Egypt. He maintains that, prevailing opinions notwithstanding,
the last quarter-century has witnessed a high level of
interreligious cooperation and tolerance. Relying heavily on Arabic
sources, Makari examines the rhetoric and actions of official
governmental and religious institutions, as well as civil society
actors. Combining empirical research with an informed theoretical
perspective, this work offers a perspective seldom available to the
English reader on questions of tolerance, citizenship, and civil
society in this part of the Arab world.
