Produktbeschreibung
This book argues that local governments and institutions across the state of California that offer various forms of sanctuaries to undocumented immigrants create "sanctuary regions." These regions are safe zones for undocumented immigrants and facilitate their ability to make claims for human rights.

This book includes overviews of how undocumented immigrants make claims for human rights as well as the ways in which sanctuary regions facilitate "acts of citizenship" and resist anti-immigrant policies.
