Sanctuary Cities and Urban Struggles makes the first sustained intervention into exploring how cities are challenging the primacy of the nation-state as the key guarantor of rights and entitlements. It brings together cutting-edge scholars of political geography, urban geography, citizenship studies, socio-legal studies and refugee studies to explore how urban social movements, localised practices of belonging and rights claiming, and diverse articulations of sanctuary are reshaping the governance of migration. By offering a collection of empirical cases and conceptualisations that move beyond 'seeing like a state', Sanctuary Cities and Urban Struggles proposes not a singular alternative but rather a set of interlocking sites and scales of political imagination and practice. In an era when migrant rights are under attack and nationalism is on the rise, the topic of how citizenship, rights and mobility can be recast at the urban scale is more relevant than ever.

01 02 A gap in critical border and migration scholarship has been that empirical and theoretical advancements are rarely translated into concrete proposals for critical interventions or practical solutions. Migration Policy and Practice fills this gap and is organized around the core argument that critical interventions and practical solutions must be developed to complement explanatory analyses. A multidisciplinary array of contributors provide practical and conceptual tools to engage the contemporary developments related to migration, borders, refugee issues, and citizenship. The contributors examine multiple national contexts, including Canada, the United States, the Schengen area, and Israel, and explore diverse policies and practices related to citizenship, refugees, and the treatment of particular ethnic groups at international, national, local, and urban scales. This book comes at a time when there is a historical and political need among policy makers, researchers, and activists for such interventions and solutions. 02 02 Building on contemporary efforts to theorize conflicts related to borders, migration, and belonging, this book transforms existing analyses in order to propose critical interventions. The chapters are written from multiple disciplinary perspectives and present rigorous empirical and theoretical analyses to advocate progressive transformation. 13 02 Harald Bauder is Professor of Geography at Ryerson University, Canada, and the founding Academic Director of the Ryerson Centre for Immigration and Settlement (RCIS), Canada.
