Abstract
The aim of the paper is to restore the political expression of the Coptic community up to the end of the Mubarak regime through the constitution of movements, parties or civil society associations and their participation in the institutions of the State. Moreover it seeks to address the extent to which notions of inclusion and exclusion can be used as analytical tools to explain the evolution of social and political identities in Egypt. Through the analysis of some newspaper articles and a study of the literature published, both in English and in French, this article will try to understand what place is reserved for non-Muslim communities within the social structure and the political organization of contempo- rary Egypt and if the political action of the Egyptian presidents and the call to Egyptian national unity have brought into question the ju- ridical and political position of non-Muslims, encouraging the shift from the dhimma status to a status of equality.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
