Description
While the concept of "sanctuary cities" is thousands of years old, the emergence of the "anti-sanctuary city" is a recent American phenomenon. This book explains the social, political, and racial underpinnings of this radical new movement and what members of targeted communities can do to counteract its corrosive effects.
