"Beyond Sanctuary is a remarkable work of collective scholarship. Together, the essays provide an expansive account of the idea of sanctuary as it intersects with concepts such as imperialism, cosmopolitanism, racial capitalism, and much more. This collection does a tremendous job of putting different standpoints and theoretical traditions into an original and productive conversation that will be valuable for radical academics and organizers." - Karma R. Chávez, author of The Borders of AIDS: Race, Quarantine, and Resistance"Beyond Sanctuary is a wonderful read that presents unparalleled contributions around the impossible possibility of sanctuary. The essays come together in a generous, incisive way, carefully tracing the ethical and political demands of migrant movements. This is a book that will stay with us for a long time: it offers key insights and asks powerful questions that grant new points of reference for students, scholars, and organizers working on asylum regimes and politics across the Atlantic." - Michele Lancione, author of For a Liberatory Politics of Home.
