- Description
In this collection of 12 perspectives, Crossing into Canada explores the experiences of two waves of United States war resisters who sought refuge in Canada, those from the Vietnam era and others from the post-9/11 era. Each individual describes their unique personal experiences in a chapter. Contributors include both resisters and the Canadian activists, lawyers, and community members who assisted them, producing a layered account that blends intimate memoir with legal and political context. The collection emphasizes ethical questions about conscientious objection, the role of civil society in offering sanctuary, and the unevenness of state responses to dissent. Given the complex, mature themes, this work would be best suited for advanced learners, either as an example of memoir and narrative voice or combined with social studies lessons to explore nationalism and Canada–US relations.
