ELSASSER, S., The Coptic Question in the Mubarak Era. Oxford University Press, 2014. 336p. Hardback. Elsasser takes a deep dive into Egypt's century-old attempts to build a modern nation-state, analyzing the Muslim and Coptic revivalisms, which lead to different, if not opposite, outcomes today. He brilliantly deconstructs the 'religious patriotism' and 'national unity' narratives, with all their built-in contradictions and hypocrisy. He treads some controversial areas and finally warns against the lack of fundamental change in policies concerning the Coptic question.
