Media of the Masses: Cassette Culture in Modern Egypt
In Media of the Masses: Cassette Culture in Modern Egypt, Andrew Simon explores how cassette production and related listening habits affected Egyptian society, particularly in the seventies and eighties. Approaching the subject as a history of modern technologies and material culture, Simon quite correctly emphasizes that cassettes and cassette players were a critical form of mass media that predated satellite television and the internet but have…

Emrah Şahin. Faithful Encounters: Authorities and American Missionaries in the Ottoman Empire
Scholarship on Protestant missionaries in the Ottoman world has become a burgeoning field in recent years but one that more frequently relies on Western missionary archives than Ottoman sources. Emrah Şahin’s Faithful Encounters: Authorities and American Missionaries in the Ottoman Empire hopes to shed light on the latter through a close examination of Ottoman imperial documents, particularly from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries…
Halal Food: A History
This book explores what halal (permissible) food means to Muslims; how its legal and cultural interpretations have changed over time and in different geographies; and how it shaped modern considerations about everything from animal slaughter and minority rights to consumption and industrial practices in the modern world. Historically, Muslims used food to define their identities in relation to co-believers and non-Muslims. Food taboos are thus ke…
Emerging Christian Media in Egypt: Clerical Authority and the Visualization of Women in Coptic Video Films
This article examines the depiction of women and gender within Coptic Orthodox video films or “hagiopics” produced between 1987 and 2010. As part of a recent religious renewal, hagiopics have expanded, altered, and reinvented traditional stories of saints and pious figures and have also generated, within this traditionally patriarchal setting, a wider space for the articulation of female voices. While their inclusion can be seen as potentially em…
A Female Martyr Cult in the Nile Delta
Coptic Christianity in Ottoman Egypt
This book explores Coptic religious life in Ottoman Egypt (1517–1798), focusing closely on manuscripts from Coptic archives. Ottoman Copts frequently turned to religious discourses, practices, and rituals as they dealt with various transformations in the first centuries of Ottoman rule. These included the establishment of a new political regime, changes within communal leadership structures (favoring lay leaders over clergy), the economic ascent …
Approaches to Coptic History after 641
The study of Coptic history usually brings to mind gnostic texts, remote monastic enclaves, archeological ruins, conflicts with Byzantium, or a long-forgotten language. Until recently, a disproportionate focus on early Christianity has bound Copts to an ancient and seemingly timeless heritage, which explains the dearth of critical examinations on Coptic life from the Islamic conquests to the early modern period. In general, Coptic experiences aft…
A Christian Martyr under Mamluk Justice: The Trials of Ṡal?b (d. 1512) according to Coptic and Muslim Sources
The 'Virtuous Woman: Images of Gender in Modern Coptic Society
In a recent article, Coptic Patriarch Shenouda III (known by Copts as 'Pope Shenouda') outlined the merits of a virtuous (fadila) Coptic woman. 'Many speak about a woman's rights', the article begins, 'but the more pertinent issue is that a woman is virtuous'.' The article proceeds to summarize how a modem Coptic woman (in fact wife) can achieve this quality. First, the Pope suggests that a wife must allow her husband to feel a greater sense of f…
