Copts in the National and Religious Discourses
The focus of scholarly studies and literary works on Egyptian Copts as a persecuted or a faith community has diverted attention from seeing them as active agents who challenge hegemonic powers within the complex overlapping of national and religious discourses. As a diasporic Copt, Shady Lewis voices in his 2018 novel Turuq al-Rab (Ways of the Lord) a counter-narrative of resistance, scrutinizing the prevailing conformist culture fraught with con…
From social and national struggle in Mandate Palestine to combatting fascism in Spain
This article examines Hussein Yassin’s novel (b. 1943-), Alī: Qissat Rajul Mustaqīm (2017), (ʿAlī: The Story of an Honorable Man), the first historical fiction which treats the real story of ʿAlī ʿAbdul Khāliq (b. 1901–d. 1938), a Palestinian member of the Palestinian Communist Party (PCP) who fought in the Spanish Civil War against Francisco Franco’s fascist nationalists.

Censorship, public opinion and the representation of Coptic minority in contemporary Egyptian cinema
Censorship decisions on cinematic works in Egypt have been characterized by their inconsistency due to the intentional lack of definition of what would constitute a threat to politics, religion and morality. Such fluidity has forced filmmakers to practise self-censorship and deterred them from tackling Coptic problems for fear of igniting sectarianism, as censorship would claim. This article shows the role of public opinion during the period of p…
Patriarchy, Subordination, and Rise of the Individual in Hisham Matar's In the Country of Men
This article examines the narrative of resistance to social subordination and the manipulated notions of faithfulness and treason in Hisham Matar's In the Country of Men (2006) observed through the lens of the child narrator, 9-year-old Suleiman, who grows critical of the patriarchy and power hierarchy of Libyan society's private and public spheres. In the private sphere, his mother's retelling of her forced marriage at a young age informs his in…
