Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. From church basements to city streets, this is the definitive account of one of America's most enduring movements for justice and what it can teach us.As masked government agents roam the streets of American cities, tossing people into unmarked vans for the crime of speaking Spanish, the U.S. government's war on undocumented immigrants has never been waged more fiercely. But regular people are fighting back, and when they do,they often invoke the notion of "sanctuary." While Donald Trump issues executive orders from the White House, promising to leave no stone unturned and threatening to storm church doors in search of "illegal invaders,"sanctuary activists cry that their directive to welcome the stranger comes from a higher power. At the same time, members of the Trump administration invoke "sanctuary" almost daily to decry a "migrant invasion" of the nation.This showdown is not new. In Sanctuary in America, Lloyd D. Barba and Sergio M. Gonzalez--co-hosts of the Sanctuary podcast--tell the story of how sanctuary activists have, for nearly half a century, organized one of themost robust civil disobedience movements in American history. Rigorous yet readable, this book provides a sweeping historical account of a movement that emerged in the 1980s and how the past can help us better understand the NewSanctuary Movement of the twenty-first century. Replete with human interest stories, Sanctuary in America draws upon extensive archival data from across the country to tell the full story of one of the most successful resistance movements of the last fifty years. A compelling story of migrant journeys, religious activism, and political showdowns, this book speaks to those attempting to navigate the trying and tumultuous present.

Paperback. Condition: New. Traces America's sanctuary movement across five decadesSanctuary has become one of the most powerful social and religious movements to push back against state power over the past 50 years, reemerging today at the center of national debates over immigration, religion, and political dissent. Following the election of Donald Trump, religious congregations, college campuses, and municipalities across the nation invoked sanctuary as a way to aid undocumented immigrants at risk of deportation and as a public act of resistance to harsh enforcement policies.Sacred Refuge situates this ongoing struggle with its deeper historical context, situating it, for example, as emerging from movements to shield those seeking to avoid the Vietnam War, and examining how the earlier sanctuary movement of the 1980s, when congregations sheltered Central American asylum seekers fleeing US-backed civil wars, has informed today's new movement. It also looks at how the particular religious framing of the sanctuary movement distinguishes it from other social movements, as well as highlighting a tendency toward "white saviorism" among churches aiming to help immigrants targeted for deportation. Bringing together leading scholars in religion and immigration studies, the volume provides a far-reaching historical treatment of the U.S. sanctuary movement, uncovering new stories of congregational defiance, activist networks, and animating moral visions. Together, the contributions trace the movement's complex origins, the struggles that shaped it, and its reverberations in contemporary campaigns. Timely and accessible, Sacred Refuge offers critical insights for scholars, activists, faith leaders, and readers seeking to understand how sanctuary became - and remains - a sacred refuge in America's contested political landscape.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Sowing the Sacred traces the development of Pentecostalism among Mexican-American migrant laborers in California's agricultural industry from the 1910s to the 1960s. At the time, Pentecostalism was often seen as a distasteful new sect rife with cultish and fanatical tendencies; U.S. growers thought of Mexicans as no more than a mere workforce not fit for citizenship; and industrial agriculture was celebrated for feeding American families while its exploitation of workers went largely ignored. Farmworkers were made out to be culturally vacuous and lacking creative genius, simple laborers caught in a vertiginous cycle of migrant work.This book argues that farmworkers from La Asamblea Apostolica de la Fe en Cristo Jesus carved out a robust socio-religious existence despite these conditions, and in doing so produced a vast record of cultural vibrancy. Examining racialized portrayals of Mexican workers and their religious lives through images created by farmworkers themselves, Sowing the Sacred draws on oral histories, photographs, and materials from new archival collections to tell an intimate story of sacred-space making. In showing how these workers mapped out churches, performed outdoor baptisms in grower-controlled waterways, and built and maintained houses of worship in the fields, this book considers the role that historical memory plays in telling these stories.
