      abstract = {Sanctuary City: A Suspended State traces the ancient  concept of sanctuary up to the present day revealing how  the contemporary and supposedly hospitable 'sanctuary city'  inadvertently entrenches a hostile asylum regime. This book  specifically explores the UK-based sanctuary movement with  a focus on Glasgow, host to the largest population of  asylum seekers in the UK. Based on ethnographic research  this book examines how sanctuary renders intractable the  serious problem of protracted waiting, indefinitely  deferring the rights of asylum seekers. Whilst illuminating  how sanctuary functions as a technology that suspends many  lives, this book also explores how the sanctuary city might  politically challenge this waiting state.},
