Cultural sociology is widely acknowledged as one of the most vibrant ar-
eas of inquiry in the social sciences across the world today. The Palgrave
Macmillan Series in Cultural Sociology is dedicated to the proposition
that deep meanings make a profound difference in social life. Culture is
not simply the glue that holds society together, a crutch for the weak, or
a mystifying ideology that conceals power. Nor is it just practical knowl-
edge, dry schemas, or know how. The series demonstrates how shared
and circulating patterns of meaning actively and inescapably penetrate the
social. Through codes and myths, narratives and icons, rituals and rep-
resentations, these culture structures drive human action, inspire social
movements, direct and build institutions, and so come to shape history.
The series takes its lead from the cultural turn in the humanities, but
insists on rigorous social science methods and aims at empirical expla-
nations. Contributions engage in thick interpretations but also account
for behavioral outcomes. They develop cultural theory but also deploy
middle-range tools to challenge reductionist understandings of how the
world actually works. In so doing, the books in this series embody the
spirit of cultural sociology as an intellectual enterprise.

Series Editor Preface

This extraordinary volume collects eight examples of civil righteousness,


acts of civil courage and cross-group solidarity within the context of in-
ternational migration. The notion of righteousness has religious roots,
though its common meaning is much more broad; it has come to mean
being in the right relation to others, or more colloquially, doing the right
thing. How one judges or underpins righteousness can be culturally and
situationally relative, but its “rightness” is what makes an act righteous. In
religious tradition, righteous acts can be saintly and sanctified as in living
in a way that is pleasing to God or Gods. In secular usage, it can mean
acting according to moral principles that transcend a particular situation
and that are not regulated by self-interest or practical outcome. Max We-
ber termed such action value-oriented, actions performed according to
one’s deeply held values or principles. Hannah Arendt thought such ac-
tions exemplary, revealing of a person’s inner virtues. For her, virtuousness
is revealed through the performance of righteous acts in a public sphere.
The State of Israel created the phrase Righteous Among Nations to
acknowledge and honor the acts of non-Jews who put themselves in dan-
ger to help Jews during the Holocaust. The awarding of this title is now
under the auspices of the Supreme Court of Israel, with a list of require-
ments to help determine the righteousness of an action. As the editors
suggest it is not surprising that Righteous Among Nations has become
an exemplar for a wide range of acts of civil courage including those re-
lated to international migration. They have chosen eight cases to reveal

this and at the same time to expand our understanding of civil courage in
the contemporary context. The examples range geographically from Eu-
rope, central, south and north America, to Africa to Australia. The cases,
which include the coordinated actions of Muslims and Jews in Germany,
Jewish refugees in Vienna, Australian doctors, migrant-rights activists in
Spain and Morocco, Colombian, Cypriot and American volunteers, make
for intellectually and emotionally stimulating reading. At the same time,
there is a great deal of practical knowledge to be gleaned from these ex-
amples of civil courage and moral commitment. Exemplary action always
contains a pedagogic moment, at one and the same time revealing the
inner virtuousness of an actor, and revealing how one should act oneself.

Preface and Acknowledgments

When Jeffrey C. Alexander laid out civil sphere theory (CST) in 2006, he
presented it as a general theory designed for universal application. Yet, the
empirical cases focused primarily on the United States. Since 2015, Jeffrey
C. Alexander has gathered a broad group of scholars from Latin Amer-
ica, East Asia, and Europe to push the boundaries of CST. This effort has
resulted in a long pipeline of books: The Civil Sphere in Latin America
(Cambridge UP, 2018), edited by Jeffrey C. Alexander and Carlo Tog-
nato, The Civil Sphere in East Asia (Cambridge UP, 2019), The Nordic
Civil Sphere (Polity Press, 2019), Breaching the Civil Order: Radicalism
and the Civil Sphere (Cambridge UP, 2020), and Populism in the Civil
Sphere (Polity Press, 2021). Our current book builds upon this line of
work.
At the time of his chapter contribution to The Civil Sphere in Latin
America, back in 2016, Carlo Tognato started to give shape to an inter-
ventive strand of CST, an agenda that he later pursued and expanded in his
chapter contribution to Breaching the Civil Order as well as in book chap-
ters (“Countering Violent Extremism Through Narrative Intervention,”
“Conversaciones de paz en las universidades”), an article (“Los Justos en
el Conflicto Armado Colombiano”), and two conference presentations in
2018 at the Annual Meeting of the Eastern Sociological Society in Balti-
more and at the World Congress of Sociology in Toronto, respectively. In
the meantime, in July 2016, Tognato started to experiment in Colombia

with a narrative extension of the category “Righteous Among the Na-


tions” for the purpose of reactivating cross-group solidarity in a society
that had been deeply divided by many decades of internal armed conflict.
This resulted in the organization between 2016 and 2017 of a National
Journalism Prize on “The Righteous in the Colombian Armed Conflict,”
spinning off into a series of lectures at the Universidad del Valle in Cali,
Colombia (2017), the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at the
University of Minnesota (2018), the Center for Latin American Studies at
the University of Pittsburgh (2018), and at the Program on Latin Amer-
ican Studies at the University of Wisconsin, Madison (2018).
Between October 31 and November 2, 2017, Bernadette Nadya Ja-
worsky traveled to Bogota after an invitation by Tognato to give a series
of lectures at the National University of Colombia about The Boundaries
of Belonging: Social Organizations and Media in the Debates Over “Illegal”
Migration. Prompted by the images of suffering that, at the time, were
circulating in international media in relation to migrants held in deten-
tion centers, Tognato and Jaworsky gave shape in Bogota to the idea of
this book. Soon after, Jeffrey C. Alexander joined the project and in the
following months, an invitation was extended to the contributors in this
book to participate in this endeavor.
Volker M. Heins, María Luengo, and Nelson Arteaga-Botello had pre-
viously participated in other CST projects. Like Heins, Jaworsky, Luengo
and Tognato, Werner Binder, who later contributed to Populism in the
Civil Sphere, has been, for many years, faculty fellow at the Center for
Cultural Sociology at Yale, of which Alexander has been founder and di-
rector. Ana Mijić, Anthony Moran, Kafaa Msaed, Argyro Nicolaou and
Yiannis Papadakis, on the other hand, have joined anew our network of
CST scholars and cultural sociologists for this occasion, thereby helping
us expand the horizons of our conversation.
On October 16–18, 2018, we gathered at Masaryk University in Brno,
where Jaworsky and her Center for the Cultural Sociology of Migration
hosted us, for two days of discussion over our chapters.
In the summer of 2019 Palgrave Macmillan accepted our book project.
We are grateful to our editor at Palgrave, Mary Al-Sayed, and to edito-
rial assistant Madison Allums, for accompanying us along the publication
process, as well as the editorial board of the Cultural Sociology Series at
Palgrave for its support in this project.
Additionally, Jaworsky wishes to acknowledge the financial support of
the Grant Agency of Masaryk University, through the student research

Praise for The Courage for Civil
Repair

“Given this moment of heightened xenophobia and nationalism, this book


could not be more timely. Not only does it shed light on the underlying
cultural processes that make some migrants ‘deserving’ while others get
treated as undesirable burdens, it also helps identify the conditions that
lead to successful mobilization on migrants’ behalf. By bringing together
cases from across the world, and incorporating the voices of a range of
relevant actors, The Courage for Civil Repair makes an important contri-
bution to theory and practice.”
—Peggy Levitt, Luella LaMer Slaner Professor in Latin American Studies
and Professor of Sociology, Wellesley College, USA, and Associate at the
Weatherhead Center for International Affairs, Harvard University, USA

“The original scholarship and unique insights that inform The Courage
for Civil Repair cannot be ignored. The contributors behind this timely
work build upon the ‘Righteous among the Nations,’ a post-World War II
official designation meant to enshrine the heroic actions of non-Jews who
risked it all to save Jewish lives during the Holocaust. Here they refashion
this distinction for a new age in order to salute today’s upstanders for
their efforts to relieve the suffering of migrants and refugees across the
globe. In the wake of ethnonational polarization and rampant nativism,

xiii
xiv PRAISE FOR THE COURAGE FOR CIVIL REPAIR

each chapter sheds light on exemplary stories of community mobilization,


empathy, solidarity and courage in the face of startling indifference.”

University of Minnesota, USA

CHAPTER 1

Introduction: Understanding Civil Courage


in International Migration

Carlo Tognato

International migration has always been a field of suffering as much as one


of hope for those who undertake the tortuous journey of leaving home to
find a new one. At the same time, it is a terrain on which democracies have
again and again been called to battle for the purpose of preserving their
moral core and maintaining the civil ideals by which open societies have
traditionally managed to uphold human dignity—reasonableness, auton-
omy, truthfulness, openness, criticism, trust, honorability, deliberation,
transparency, accountability, rule of law, and inclusion. Today, democra-
cies around the world are fiercely in the midst of such a battle. Recent
debates concerning US, EU, and Australian migrant detention centers
provide clear proof, as observers on all sides of the political spectrum have
reacted to reports about children being separated from their parents, “de-
prived of soap, clean water, toilets, toothbrushes, adequate nutrition and
sleep” (Montero 2019), of babies fed from the same unwashed bottle
for days (Malik 2019), of migrants banging on cells and pressing notes
onto windows begging for help, crammed in overcrowded spaces (Pitzer
