Download and read online ebook Sanctuary and Asylum write by Linda Rabben. This book was released on 2016-09-01. Sanctuary and Asylum available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The practice of sanctuary—giving refuge to the threatened, vulnerable stranger—may be universal among humans. From primate populations to ancient religious traditions to the modern legal institution of asylum, anthropologist Linda Rabben explores the long history of sanctuary and analyzes modern asylum policies in North America, Europe, and elsewhere, contrasting them with the role that courageous individuals and organizations have played in offering refuge to survivors of torture, persecution, and discrimination. Rabben gives close attention to the mid-2010s refugee crisis in Europe and to Central Americans seeking asylum in the United States. This wide-ranging, timely, and carefully documented account draws on Rabben’s experiences as a human rights advocate as well as her training as an anthropologist. Sanctuary and Asylum will help citizens, professionals, and policy makers take informed and compassionate action. A Capell Family Book

This book was released on 2020-09-01. Sanctuary available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Co-founder of the Women's March makes her YA debut in a near future dystopian where a young girl and her brother must escape a xenophobic government to find sanctuary. It's 2032, and in this near-future America, all citizens are chipped and everyone is tracked--from buses to grocery stores. It's almost impossible to survive as an undocumented immigrant, but that's exactly what sixteen-year-old Vali is doing. She and her family have carved out a stable, happy life in small-town Vermont, but when Vali's mother's counterfeit chip starts malfunctioning and the Deportation Forces raid their town, they are forced to flee. Now on the run, Vali and her family are desperately trying to make it to her tía Luna's in California, a sanctuary state that is currently being walled off from the rest of the country. But when Vali's mother is detained before their journey even really begins, Vali must carry on with her younger brother across the country to make it to safety before it's too late. Gripping and urgent, co-authors Paola Mendoza and Abby Sher have crafted a narrative that is as haunting as it is hopeful in envisioning a future where everyone can find sanctuary.

Download and read online ebook This Ground is Holy write by Ignatius Bau. This book was released on 1985. This Ground is Holy available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The author recounts the development in the United States of the 'sanctuary movement', a loose association of churches which accord refuge and legal and social services to central American refugees. United States immigration and refugee law is succinctly described, with due emphasis given to the 1951 Convention the principle of non-refoulement and the protection required by the 1949 Geneva Red Cross Conventions. The low refugee recognition rate for central Americans is identified as one reason giving rise to the need for extra-statutory refuge. The resulting confrontation between church and state is discribed, with reference to the prosecution and trials of various sanctuary workers. The author also assesses the legal implications for those helping 'illegal' refugees, who may be indicted for harbouring, concealing, shielding from detection or transportation; possible defences are suggested. Three chapters examine the history of sanctuary, as an ancient, biblical tradition; as a privileged refuge established in England in early years in reaction to the practice of blood revenge, and as reflected in elements of United States history, for example, in regard to the 'underground railroad' for fugitive slaves and in various responses to war resisters during the Vietnam period. The author concludes with the suggestion that the authority of the sanctuary novement today is moral, rather than legal; he notes the grassroots origins of the movement and the fact that the beneficiaries today are refugees rather than criminals.
