Coleção RC0516 - Christopher Powell collection

During the course of researching his Ph.D thesis (“International Influences on the Anti-Vietnam War Movement in Canada, 1965-1975”) at the University of New Brunswick, Christopher Powell conducted interviews with a number of individuals who had been active in the protest movement against the Vietnam War during the mid-to-late 1960s . These included both Americans and Canadians; all were resident in Canada during the conflict. Many were involved with broader political and labour movements. The interviews themselves centred on participants’ anti-war activities, but also touch on broader political and biographical themes. Upon completion of his thesis, Dr. Powell donated the interviews and accompanying transcripts to McMaster University.
