Reframing Secularization in Egypt

This chapter examines the historical intricacies of secularization in Egypt, addressing its ties to Orientalism and colonial ideologies.

The discussion also highlights the philosophical implications of this transformation, particularly through the lens of Hegel and the racialization of Islam.
