Reviews for Christians in Egypt: Strategies and Survival
“Christians in Egypt is a fascinating ethnography crafted with skill and clarity for a general readership. Andrea Rugh’s admiration for Madame Ansaf shines through, along with her sensitivity to the daily challenges of Christian and Muslim women learning how to live in a rapidly changing Bulaq together.” (Angie Heo, The Middle East Journal, 2016)
