“Sanctuary Everywhere is a subtle and insightful exploration of the sacred that moves discussions of ‘sanctuary’ toward new intellectual and physical spaces to reveal its unexpected fugitive dimensions. An illuminating book not only for students of the immigration and sanctuary movements, but also for those pondering the meaning of the sacred in an unjust world.” -- Mayra Rivera, author of * Poetics of the Flesh * “In this captivating and impactful book Barbara Andrea Sostaita conceptualizes the tradition of sanctuary in more expansive terms than usual. Suggesting that sanctuary is not a place but a fugitive practice, Sostaita invites readers to see sanctuary in spaces and practices far beyond those places that have long been designated as sanctuaries like houses of worship and into the lines of communication among detained migrants and the loving ritual of planting crosses where people perished. This singular book will make a splash!” -- Karma R. Chávez, author of * The Borders of AIDS: Race, Quarantine, and Resistance *
