Summary:

"This book argues for a more inclusive political life of expanded urban citizenship for undocumented immigrants, asylum seekers, and refugees through active mechanisms of sanctuary practice. The argument is legal, empirical, political, and normative. Empirical arguments are made based on participant-observation fieldwork with the New Sanctuary Coalition in New York"-- Provided by publisher.
