Overview

This title offers a rare glimpse into a successful, but little known, immigrant community. The Copts, or Egyptian Christians, are a relatively small and tight-knit ethno-religious group, numbering perhaps three thousand people and living mostly in the Detroit metropolitan area. Since they began immigrating to Michigan in the mid-1960s, their community has grown exponentially.Granted exceptional access to the Coptic community, Eliot Dickinson provides the first in-depth profile of this unique and remarkably successful immigrant group. Drawing on personal interviews to infuse the book with warmth and depth. ""Copts in Michigan"" offers readers a compelling view into this vibrant community.
