Summary "While the concept of places of refuge, or in contemporary terms "sanctuary cities," is thousands of years old, the emergence of the "anti-sanctuary city" is an American phenomenon less than ten years old. This book explains the social, political, and racial underpinnings of this radical new movement, and what members of targeted communities can do to counteract its corrosive effects"-- Provided by publisher.
