Abstract

Abstract:When Egyptian president Anwar al-Sadat had the head of the Coptic Church, Pope Shenouda III, interned in a desert monastery for "sectarian sedition" in 1981, Copts in the diaspora mobilized. The Egyptian state subsequently demonized Coptic activists and enmeshed itself into the Church's transnational affairs, revealing how the Sadat regime circumscribed Egyptian citizenship, even for those abroad. Examining American court documents, Church records, and Coptic diaspora publications juxtaposed with Egyptian state media, this article surveys the role of diaspora activists in Cold War Egypt.
治安科普特人:萨达特、谢努达和冷战时期埃及的跨国侨民政治
摘要:1981年,埃及总统萨达特(Anwar al-Sadat)以“宗派煽动罪”将科普特教会领袖教皇谢努达三世(Pope Shenouda III)关押在一座沙漠修道院时,流散在外的科普特人动员了起来。埃及政府随后妖魔化了科普特激进分子,并将自己卷入教会的跨国事务中,这暴露了萨达特政权是如何限制埃及公民身份的,甚至对那些在国外的人也是如此。本文考察了美国法庭文件、教会记录、科普特侨民出版物以及埃及国家媒体,考察了冷战时期埃及侨民活动家的作用。
