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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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. \u003ci\u003eSanctuary and Asylum\u003c\/i\u003e will help citizens, professionals, and policy makers take informed and compassionate action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Capell Family Book\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Linda Rabben\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0295999128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780295999128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d","brand":"Linda Rabben","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013718651135,"sku":"9780295999128","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4b832eb7-da77-4ff6-9a9c-0c8e9917bb30.jpg?v=1767744338","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sanctuary-and-asylum-linda-rabben-9780295999128","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
