Specificatii
Shedding light on a misunderstood form of opposition to the Vietnam
War, Michael Foley tells the story of draft resistance, the cutting
edge of the antiwar movement at the height of the war's escalation.
Unlike so-called draft dodgers, who left the country or manipulated
deferments, draft resisters openly defied draft laws by burning or
turning in their draft cards. Like civil rights activists before
them, draft resisters invited prosecution and imprisonment.Focusing
on Boston, one of the movement's most prominent centers, Foley
reveals the crucial role of draft resisters in shifting antiwar
sentiment from the margins of society to the center of American
politics. Their actions inspired other draft-age men opposed to the
war--especially college students--to reconsider their place of
privilege in a draft system that offered them protections and sent
disproportionate numbers of working-class and minority men to
Vietnam. This recognition sparked the change of tactics from legal
protest to mass civil disobedience, drawing the Johnson
administration into a confrontation with activists who were largely
suburban, liberal, young, and middle class--the core of Johnson's
Democratic constituency.Examining the day-to-day struggle of
antiwar organizing carried out by ordinary Americans at the local
level, Foley argues for a more complex view of citizenship and
patriotism during a time of war.
