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
