Tracing the development of Islam as a social, political, and economic force in Egypt, Sullivan and Abed-Kotob analyze the role it plays in governance and opposition to political authority, in social relations, and in the often-ignored areas of social and economic development. They also discuss Muslim-Christian relations and women in Islam. They conclude with a consideration of the future impact of Islam on state-society relations in Egypt and on the legitimacy of the secular regime UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781685851866 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781685851866 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781685851866/original ER -
