Thus began the practice of sanctuary in Canada. By 2003, thirty-six incidents involving 261 migrants had occurred nationwide. Sanctuary, Sovereignty, Sacrifice closely examines sanctuary practice in Canada. Randy Lippert suggests that, far from being a coherent social movement, sanctuary practice is a localized and isolated phenomenon, and often not primarily religious in orientation. It is also remarkably successful -- in every documented incident, state authorities were kept at bay and providers avoided arrest. In most cases, migrants also ultimately received legal status. Drawing on theories of governmentality, Lippert traces the emergence of this practice to a shift in responsibility for refugees and immigrants from the state to churches and communities. Here sanctuary practices and spaces are shaped by a form of pastoral power that targets needs and operates through sacrifice, and by a sovereign power that is exceptional, territorial, and spectacular. Correspondingly, law plays a complex role in sanctuary, appearing variously as a form of oppression, a game, and a source of majestic authority that overshadows the state. A thorough and original account of contemporary sanctuary practice, this book tackles theoretical and methodological questions in governmentality and socio-legal studies concerning methodology, nonliberal power, the role of legal narratives, and the nature of resistance. Sanctuary, Sovereignty, Sacrifice will be of interest to scholars and students in socio-legal studies, criminology, sociology, political science, social history, anthropology, and religious studies, and will appeal to anyone interested in immigration and refugee law and policy. 410 0$aLaw and society series. 606 $aAsylum, Right of$zCanada 606 $aRefugees$xLegal status, laws, etc$zCanada 606 $aChurch work with refugees$zCanada 606 $aRefugees$xGovernment policy$zCanada 606 $aRefugees$zCanada 606 $aDroit d'asile$zCanada 606 $aRefugies$xDroit$zCanada 606 $aPastorale des refugies$zCanada 606 $aRefugies$xPolitique gouvernementale$zCanada 606 $aRefugies$zCanada 607 $aCanada$xEmigration and immigration$xGovernment policy 607 $aCanada$xEmigration et immigration$xPolitique gouvernementale 615 0$aAsylum, Right of 615 0$aRefugees$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aChurch work with refugees 615 0$aRefugees$xGovernment policy 615 0$aRefugees 615 6$aDroit d'asile 615 6$aRefugies$xDroit 615 6$aPastorale des refugies 615 6$aRefugies$xPolitique gouvernementale 615 6$aRefugies 676 $a305.9/06914/0971 700 $aLippert$b Randy K.$f1966-$01615599 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826159803321 996 $aSanctuary, sovereignty, sacrifice$93951284 997 $aUNINA
