Constructing the Grand Egyptian Museum: Heritage, Tourism, and Urban Transformation
Muslims in Ireland: Past and Present
Sailors, Merchants and Migrants
The chapter examines the presence of Muslims in Ireland before World War II, placing it in the context of British colonial history of the 19th and early 20th centuries. This presence was constituted among others of merchants, sailors, wives of army officers or teachers of colonial officers at Irish universities. A communal presence as such did not emerge in this period. The chapter starts with the impact of the Sack of Baltimore of 1631, when Nor…
Beyond the cross and the crescent: Plural identities and the Copts in contemporary Egypt
This paper examines the slow but steady transformation in how Coptic identity has been articulated and expressed since the mid-1990s. In the past, Copts were careful not to challenge a particular narrative of national unity, which formally included Copts in the Egyptian nation ('religion is for God, and the nation is for all'), but which in practice imposed a kind of public invisibility on them. Today, a growing number of activists are seeking a …

The Copts of Egypt: Challenges of Modernisation and Identity
The Coptic Christians of Egypt have traditionally been portrayed as a 'beleaguered minority'. This book uses newly discovered Coptic archival sources to present a vivid and alternative image of the community, examining Coptic agency in the twentieth century. Vivian Ibrahim reveals a strong Coptic response to the emergence and threats of Political Islam from the 1940s, and examines how Copts negotiated a role for themselves during the colonial per…
Jerusalem Syndrome: The Palestinian‐Israeli Battle for the Holy City by Moshe Amirav
The Mir of India in Ireland: Nationalism and Identity of an Early 'Muslim' Migrant
The article examines the case of Mir Aulad Ali, the nineteenth-century Professor of Arabic, Hindustani and Persian at Trinity College Dublin. Using a combination of archival material and secondary literature, it is argued that the contextualization of early migrants to Europe is necessary in order to avoid objectification by historians through the label of 'Muslim'. Examining the specific ways in which both Ireland and India viewed one another, i…

The Copts of Egypt: Challenges of Modernisation and Identity
"The Copts of Egypt, who make up 10-15 percent of the population, have traditionally been viewed as a 'beleaguered and persecuted minority.' Using newly discovered Coptic archival sources, Vivian Ibrahim presents a fresh and vivid alternative reading of the community during the twentieth centry. Avoiding the established portrayal of a monolithic entity headed by the Coptic Pope, Ibrahim examines the multifaceted dimensions of the Coptic community…
