Bruce Dancis arrived at Cornell University or college in 1965 as a youth who was no stranger to political action. He was raised in a radical household and got part in the 1963 March on Washington as a 15-year-old. He became the first scholar at Cornell to defy the draft by tearing up his draft cards and soon became a head of the draft resistance movements. He also turned down a student deferment and refused induction in to the equipped services. He was the principal organizer of the first mass draft-card using during the Vietnam Battle, an activist in the Level of resistance (a nationwide group against the draft), and a cofounder and president of the Cornell section of Students for a Democratic Culture. Dancis put in 19 a few months in federal prison in Ashland, Kentucky, for his activities against the draft. In Resister, Dancis not only provides listeners an insider's bill of the antiwar and scholar protest actions of the '60s but also offers a rare look at the prison encounters of Vietnam-era draft resisters. Intertwining ram, reflection, and record, Dancis offers an engaging firsthand bill of some of the era's most iconic occurrences. On the way, Dancis also explores the relationship between the topical ointment folk and rock and roll music of the period and the political and social rebels who desired to improve American world. The reserve is shared by Cornell University or college Press.
