Omschrijving
Barbara Andrea Sostaita looks closely at the Sonoran Desert along the U.S.-Mexico border, reconceptualizing sanctuary not as a particular place such as a church but as a fugitive practice.
“Sanctuary Everywhere is a subtle and insightful exploration of the sacred that moves discussions of ‘sanctuary’ toward new intellectual and physical spaces to reveal its unexpected fugitive dimensions. An illuminating book not only for students of the immigration and sanctuary movements, but also for those pondering the meaning of the sacred in an unjust world.”
“In this captivating and impactful book Barbara Andrea Sostaita conceptualizes the tradition of sanctuary in more expansive terms than usual. Suggesting that sanctuary is not a place but a fugitive practice, Sostaita invites readers to see sanctuary in spaces and practices far beyond those places that have long been designated as sanctuaries like houses of worship and into the lines of communication among detained migrants and the loving ritual of planting crosses where people perished. This singular book will make a splash!”
