description: 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.
