The chapter on Christians, part of a survey of minorities in the Middle East with a special focus on the post Arab Spring era, examines the status of Copts in Egypt focusing on what he perceives as the hegemony of Islamic fundamentalism over the Egyptian ideological landscape. The author refers to the moves of President Sisi with a favorable eye, while covering effects of the revolution on Coptic identity politics.
