Reseña del libro "Crossing Into Canada. Stories from Two Generations of US War Resisters"

Compelling and intimate journeys, told in first person, by two generations of US war resisters who crossed into Canada in search of safe haven.

This book explores the compelling and intimate journeys of two generations of US war resisters who crossed into Canada in search of safe haven, and the activists that supported them. During the war in Vietnam, Canada offered refuge to over 100,000 people fleeing conscription. More recently, approximately 300 US military personnel sought refuge as resisters against wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. These two generations of traveled parallel routes, but met very different outcomes. Capturing a fascinating and unique set of cross-border histories, at once Canadian and American, at once collective and distinct, this volume reveals that the courageous decision to flee militarism and war never follows the same path. Editors Alison Mountz and Shiva S. Mohan, themselves immigrants to Canada, introduce and document these powerful first-hand accounts, offering an inside look at how people resist war, cross borders clandestinely, navigate asylum systems, survive detention, and build community. Crossing Into Canada is essential reading for those interested in war resister movements, Canada’s role as a safe haven for those seeking asylum, migration across borders, and the importance of activism and social justice.
