This open access book, the first of two volumes, offers novel insights into the resilience of migrants and refugees and challenges Eurocentric and colonial perspectives of urban solidarity, sanctuary, and hospitality. It is theoretically framed by critical perspectives on the state and anti-colonialism, histories of urban solidarity, practices of solidarity and estrangement, and geographical perspectives of scale and space. The volume also advances novel themes and new approaches towards urban solidarity, sanctuary, hospitality and alternative conceptualizations that open avenues for future research and policy agendas.
