More about the book
The pursuit of state recognition by marginal religious groups, particularly Coptic Orthodox Christians and Bahá'í in Egypt, is framed as a devotional practice that reinforces communal integrity. Mona Oraby challenges conventional views on secularism, illustrating how these communities navigate political and legal challenges, especially post-2011 uprising. Through an analysis of over fifty years of judicial trends and minority claims-making, she highlights how affirming their differences in a Muslim-majority context fosters belonging, ultimately reshaping the understanding of law and religion.
