How protection, responsibility, and hospitality have animated the search for refuge and what this means for migrant justice today.

Sanctuary in Pieces looks at the history of protection and hospitality in Montreal/Mooniyaang/Tiohtià:ke over two hundred years. Laura Madokoro traces the movements and experiences of fugitives from slavery, wanted criminals, internationally renowned anarchists, and war resisters before turning to instances of public sanctuary practices since the 1970s.

Laura Madokoro is a historian who lives and works on the traditional territory of the Algonquin Anishnaabeg.
