At home in the sanctuary city of Takoma Park, Maryland, Rev. Phil Wheaton and Michael McConnell gave me informative interviews about their work for the 1980s Sanctuary Movement. Zelda Bell pro- vided practical assistance that made it possible for me to do research in the United Kingdom and France, and Alice Haddix helped arrange my 2008 visit to Tucson. In Tucson, sanctuarians Reverend Ricardo Elford, Reverend John Fife, John Heid, Paul Barby, the Community of Christ in the Desert, Lois Martin, Sarah Roberts, Frederick Neidhardt, Rev. Jim Wiltbank, Rev. Alison Harrington, the Samaritans, Rosemary and Bill Hallinan, Rev. Robin Hoover, Mike Humphrey, John Miles, Sebastian Quinac, Rachel Wilson, Geoff Boyce, and others kindly gave me interviews in 2008 and 2014. Abby Root and Lauren Raine offered hospitality and a listening ear. Linda Green, Kathryn Rodriguez, Sarah Launius, Kent Walker, and Jean Boucher helped in other ways. Rosa Robles Loreto, in sanctuary at Southside Presbyterian Church, and Francisco Perez Cordova, in sanctuary at Saint Francis in the Foothills United Method- ist Church, graciously consented to be interviewed in November 2014. Nicole Kligerman introduced me to the New Sanctuary Movement of Philadelphia. In El Paso, Joe Heyman was tremendously helpful during my visit in 2010; afterward he read chapter 2, made useful suggestions for changes, and became a friend. Also in El Paso and environs, sanctuarians Kathleen Erickson, Delia Gomez, Fernando xi xii aCKnoWLedgments Garcia, Ruben Garcia, and Rev. Peter Hinde gave inspiring interviews that increased my understanding of old and new sanctuary movements. In Juarez, Mexico, Sr. Betty Campbell and Sr. Mary Alice shared their experiences with me. In Saint Paul, Minnesota, the matchless Nelly Trocmé Hewett shared her encyclopedic knowledge of her parents André and Magda Trocmé, Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, France, and the surrounding region; she also read chapter 6 and corrected many errors, small and large. In Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, Annik Flaud and Gérard Bollon gra- ciously provided a great deal of information in a very short time. Thanks also to John Graney, MD, who drove me to Le Chambon with dizzying proficiency along the winding back roads of the Haute Loire. I am grateful to interviewees “Mary” and “Pierre,” who requested anonymity. They and other asylum seekers whose stories are told in chapter 1 are heroes whose courage and persistence continue to inspire me. In Britain, Mahamad Al-Shagra, Rev. John Arnold, Sally Daghlian, Bob Deffee, Emma Ginn, Jim Gomersall, Eveline Louden, Roger Norris, Dele Olawanle, Kate Roberts, Jan Shaw, Debora Singer, Ahlam Souidi, Chris Williams, and Jean Wilson gave me interviews and inspiration. Conor Gearty was a gracious and encouraging host at London School of Economics’ Center for the Study of Human Rights, where I was a visiting fellow in 2007–2008. My colleague at CSHR, Michael Welch, was helpful to me in London and after. The Scottish Refugee Council in Glasgow gave me shelter for a week in 2008 and taught me much about integration. Thanks also to Gary Christie, Celia Clarke, Jona- than Cox, Rev. Moyna McGlynn, Rev. Nicholas Sagovsky, and Jeremy Seabrook, who were especially encouraging. Zoe Stevens and Rev. Patrick Wright kindly facilitated visits to detention centers. Moyra Ashford, Sue Branford, Sue and Patrick Cunningham, John and Eliz- abeth Nurser, Jan Rocha, Patti Whaley, and Rob Wheeler provided indispensable hospitality and friendship over the years. In the Netherlands a volunteer social worker, several asylum seek- ers, Patricia Brunklaus, and Esther van den Broek of the Dutch Refu- gee Council in Tilburg, Tycho van Lummel of the Netherlands Justice Ministry Migration Directorate, and residents of Noelhuis (Catholic aCKnoWLedgments xiii Worker house) of Amsterdam were kind enough to meet with me in 2014. I am especially grateful to Veerle Slegers and her family for their generous hospitality. Bedankt! Librarians and archivists, such as Wendy Chmielewski, curator of the Swarthmore College Peace Collection, and Patricia Chapin O’Donnell of Swarthmore College Friends Historical Library; Josef Keith and Lisa McQuillen of Friends House Library, London; Clem- ent Ho, international studies librarian at American University; and Steve Lafalce, reference librarian at Washington College of Law’s Pence Library, gave me valuable assistance. Thanks also to employers and colleagues who gave practical help as I was writing Give Refuge to the Stranger: Juan Mendez, the late Robert Goodland, Marie Marr Jack- son, and Virginia Bouvier, who made me aware of Colombian peace communities. Several experts were kind enough to steer me through the shoals of asylum policies and practices: Celia Clarke of BID, Steve Symonds of Amnesty International UK, Prof. Wendy Chan of Simon Fraser University, Grant Mitchell, director of the International Detention Coalition, Lucy Bowring, MENA coordinator of the International Detention Coalition, and Prof. Claudia Tazreiter of University of New South Wales, Australia, reviewed parts of chapters 8 and 11 and made helpful comments. Prof. Jayesh Rathod of Washington College of Law commented on chapter 10. Michael Matza of the Philadelphia Inquirer gave me indispensable help with the story of Tiombe Carlos, told in chapter 1. Imam Daoud Nassimi and Prof. Steven Caton graciously provided information about sanctuary in Islam. My relationship with the University of Washington Press goes back to 1998, when they published the first US edition of my book on Bra- zilian indigenous movements, Unnatural Selection. Over the years my editors there have consistently provided moral support and helpful advice. My heartfelt thanks go to them and to anonymous readers who made constructive suggestions for changes. I am grateful to copyright holders who gave me permission to reproduce their work: Australian Human Rights Commission, Lydia Besong, Angie Morton, Rutgers University Press, United Nations Archives, and UNICEF. xiv aCKnoWLedgments Chai was my faithful research assistant. John Eckenrode’s gener- osity, encouragement, and example have made all the difference to my life and work. If I have forgotten anyone who helped, I beg pardon. The mis- takes in this book are my own, and I ask forgiveness for them, too. Sanctuary and Asylum Introduction Fleeing the threat of genital mutilation, seventeen-year-old Fauziya Kassindja left her home in the West African country of Togo in late 1994. Unlike many girls in her ethnic group, she had avoided “cutting” because her father did not approve of the practice.

    Submission to the University of Baltimore School of Law‟s Center on Applied Feminism for its Fourth Annual Feminist Legal Theory Conference. “Applying Feminism Globally.” Feminism from an African and Matriarchal Culture Perspective How Ancient Africa’s Gender Sensitive Laws and Institutions Can Inform Modern Africa and the World Fatou Kiné CAMARA, PhD Associate Professor of Law, Faculté des Sciences Juridiques et Politiques, Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar, SENEGAL “The German experience should be regarded as a lesson. Initially, after the codification of German law in 1900, academic lectures were still based on a study of private law with reference to Roman law, the Pandectists and Germanic law as the basis for comparison. Since 1918, education in law focused only on national law while the legal-historical and comparative possibilities that were available to adapt the law were largely ignored. Students were unable to critically analyse the law or to resist the German socialist-nationalism system. They had no value system against which their own legal system could be tested.” Du Plessis W. 1 Paper Abstract What explains that in patriarchal societies it is the father who passes on his name to his child while in matriarchal societies the child bears the surname of his mother? The biological reality is the same in both cases: it is the woman who bears the child and gives birth to it. Thus the answer does not lie in biological differences but in cultural ones. So far in feminist literature the analysis relies on a patriarchal background. Not many attempts have been made to consider the way gender has been used in matriarchal societies.

  • Prison Conditions in Cameroon: the Narratives Of
    PRISON CONDITIONS IN CAMEROON: THE NARRATIVES OF FEMALE INMATES by HELEN NAMONDO FONTEBO submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF LITERATURE AND PHILOSOPHY in the subject SOCIOLOGY at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: PROFESSOR ME RABE JUNE 2013 SUMMARY PRISON CONDITIONS IN CAMEROON: THE NARRATIVES OF FEMALE INMATES This study explores and critically analyses the lived experiences of female inmates in six selected prisons in Cameroon. The study contributes to the available knowledge regarding prison conditions from the perspectives of female inmates– a subject which has been under researched globally and has received little attention from researchers in Cameroon. The Cameroon Penitentiary Regulation (CPR) professes to be gender neutral and, therefore, it ignores the special needs of female inmates. The central research question is: How do the national policies and laws on prison conditions in Cameroon relate to the lived and narrated experiences of female inmates? The study is informed by two major frameworks, namely, Foucault’s analytical framework from his seminal work Discipline and Punish (1977) and a feminist analytical framework, standpoint feminism, which fills the gap in Foucault’s thesis that is largely devoid of gender analysis. The study is qualitative, using in-depth interviews and observations. It involved a sample of 38 research participants, comprising 18 female inmates, 18 prison staff members and two NGO representatives. The findings reveal that both international and national ratified policies are merely “paperwork”, lacking effective implementation in the prisons selected for this study. There is a general lack of infrastructural facilities in prisons and this prevents classification as suggested by the CPR 1992 and ratified international instruments.

  • Sanctuary Planet: a Global Sanctuary Movement for the Time of Trump
    Sanctuary Planet: A Global Sanctuary Movement for the Time of Trump Authors in alphabetical order Megan Carney, Ricardo Gomez, Katharyne Mitchell, Sara Vannini University of Washington Abstract What does it mean to be on a sanctuary campus that is in a sanctuary city that is part of a sanctuary state? In this paper, we discuss the origins and contemporary expressions of sanctuary, and call for a Global Sanctuary Collective to harness the moral outrage in the face of the words and actions of President Trump against undocumented immigrants, refugees, and other minorities and vulnerable populations. Moral outrage brought over 5 million protesters to the streets around the world on the weekend of Trump’s inauguration, and then to main airports around the country protesting the travel ban against refugees and people from seven predominantly Muslim countries. Moral outrage is leading to rekindling protest and protection of vulnerable populations, and sanctuary is taking different shapes and forms across the US. In addition to exploring the origin of the sanctuary movement in the US and some of its theoretical underpinnings, in this paper we discuss the role of collective action, personal stories, and artistic expressions that are part of the new sanctuary movement. We conclude with a discussion of future directions and a manifesto for a Global Sanctuary Collective to defend the rights of refugees and undocumented immigrants, and immigrants from any nationality, race or religion. The new Global Sanctuary Collective builds on and expands the work of faith-based organizations, where sanctuary began, and calls on the creative forces of all people to turn moral outrage into protection of the vulnerable, protest against injustice, creative expression of human values and dignity, and action for social justice.
