[425]-438) and index. 520 $a Shedding light on an understudied 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 evaded the draft by leaving the country or by securing a draft deferment by fraudulent means, 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, 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. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $x Draft resisters $z United States. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $x Protest movements $z United States. 650 6 $a Guerre du VieÌt-nam, 1961-1975 $x Insoumis $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 6 $a Guerre du VieÌt-nam, 1961-1975 $x Contestation $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 17 $a Vietnam-oorlog. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Dienstweigering. $2 gtt 856 42 $z Additional Information at Google Books $u http://books.google.com/books?isbn=0807827673 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/unc041/2002010967.html 941 $a 11 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525034213.0 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214051224.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718081153.0 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926082605.0 952 $l HYAX325 $d 20180623023721.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180109053555.0 952 $l UTAX115 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l PWAX296 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l PTAX572 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OMAX631 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20090708133753.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=172B56EA2B0311DE8760C407A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IOKInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
