Publisher Synopsis
Very well organized and presented, this study will be useful to both scholars and policy makers. * C.K. Piehl, emeritus, Minnesota State University, CHOICE * This is a very important book that takes a holistic approach to examining sanctuary city policy historically and explains the contemporary consequences of reframing this issue for Latino communities today. This book is not just a resource with innovative data and methodology; it provides a powerful historical theoretical explanation for the way elite, media, and mass opinion and behavior change around the issue of sanctuary cities. This book is a must-read for anyonestudying public policy and opinion formation. * Jessica Lavariega Monforti, editor of Latinos in the American Political System * This truly massive deep dive into 35 years of history and data related to sanctuary policies represents a model of good social science. Collingwood and Gonzalez O'Brien aim in these pages to change the national conversation about a controversial and increasingly polarized issue. In a compelling, accessible narrative backed up with hard facts, they succeed in bolstering claims made by pro-sanctuary advocates and dismissing claims made by sanctuary opponents. This bookis sure to become a well-cited resource for those seeking to preserve and expand sanctuary policies. * Melissa R. Michelson, Menlo College * Collingwood and Gonzalez O'Brien's brief yet comprehensive guide to sanctuary cities illustrates how opposition to sanctuary policies is driven by partisanship and demographic change rather than crime or the economy, while also demonstrating that sanctuary policies have a range of positive outcomes. This book will be an indispensable resource for scholars and practitioners interested in this timely, important, and provocative issue. * Deborah J. Schildkraut, Tufts University * Read more...
