 h2><p>In recent months\, the simmering anti-immigrant discourse in North Am
 erica has become more pronounced. Central to this discourse has been profou
 nd othering\, scaffolded by words such as “undocumented\,” “illegal\,” and 
 “criminal aliens.” The ease with which this language has gained traction se
 rves as an invitation to consider the ways in which understandings of the r
 elationship between migration\, race\, and refuge have been reformulated in
  recent years. Drawing from her new book\, <em>Sanctuary in Pieces: Two Cen
 turies of Flight\, Fugitivity\, and Resistance in a North American City</em
 > (MQUP\, 2024)\, Dr. Laura Madokoro offers a timely exploration of the pol
 itics of otherness as seen in the search\, offer\, and refusal of sanctuary
  over the long twentieth-century.</p><hr /><h2>About Laura Madokoro</h2><p>
