Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research focuses on diaspora communities of Coptic Orthodox Christians who are religious minority in Egypt. Fieldwork have been done in Suburb of Paris, France, Montreal, Canada and Kyoto and Tokyo, Japan to investigate how these different diaspora communities adjust the new environment and how they connect to other Coptic communities in Egypt and other migrated countries. The following are what this research revealed: Members of Canadian Coptic diaspora community are relatively highly educated and economically wealthy. Many of them feel they get along with Canadian society. On the contrary, among French community, first generation who migrated to France at their own will is not relatively well off and is not able to use their working skills they earned in Egypt. A lot of them tend to feel they are isolated and alienated in French society. Japanese Coptic Orthodox Church has just opened in 2016 and a lot of members are graduate students or expatriate or temporal employees.
