This book aims to establish a dialogue around the various "urban
sanctuary" policies and other formal or informal practices of
hospitality toward migrants that have emerged or been strengthened
in cities in the Americas in the last decade. The authors
articulate local governance initiatives in migrant protection with
a larger range of social and political actors and places them
within a broader context of migrations in the Western Hemisphere
(including case studies of Toronto, New York, Austin, Mexico City,
and Lima, among others). The book analyzes in particular the limits
of local efforts to protect migrants and to identify the latitude
of action at the disposal of local actors. It examines the efforts
of municipal governments and also considers the role taken by
cities from a larger perspective, including the actions of
immigrant rights associations, churches, NGOs, and other actors in
protecting vulnerable migrants.
