Top-down and Bottom-up: Counterpoised Visions of Bilingual Intercultural Education in Latin America

The literature on urban sanctuary and solidarity in the context of the Global North is robust and rapidly expanding.

We focus on the connection between top-down urban policies and bottom-up grassroots initiatives and practices of migrant and refugee solidarity and sanctuary. Our findings reveal that the academic literature lags behind in some contexts in acknowledging the connection between top-down and bottom-up approaches.
