SUMMARY:PR - PR Library: Author Reading of newly released War Resisters\, Standing Against the Vietnam War
DESCRIPTION:Author Joline Martin will read excerpts from her book\, War Resisters\, Standing Against the Vietnam War. War Resisters offers a contemporary perspective\non the struggles and triumphs of American Vietnam war resisters who resettled\nin Canada on Vancouver Island. This important collection of stories sheds light on an invisible minority\, illustrating the courage it took for resisters to leave behind their friends\, families\, and communities with no certainty of return. Supporters on both sides of the 49th parallel showed compassion to the resisters by helping them escape the US draft and peacefully integrate into Canadian communities. In return\, the resisters contributed to their communities as farmers\, teachers\, caregivers\, and more. Joline will facilitate a discussion.
