Description

This article explores the history of U.S. expatriates and draft resisters in alternative political and cultural communities within Toronto during the late 1960s and early 1970s. As such these expatriates were important players in shaping and creating new social spaces, activist politics, and alternative forms of expression generated within the city's counterculture communities and New Left movements. Aided by their class and racial privilege, many of these expatriates were able to participate in and engage the public culture of the city as few other migrants could. This ability to become part of the Toronto's alternative neighbourhoods, scenes, and intentional communities was nonetheless facilitated by the transnational connections and objectives that linked local actions with global aspirations and collaborators. Cet article explore l'histoire des expatries et insoumis americains dans les communautes politiques et culturelles alternatives de Toronto a la fin des annees 60 et au debut des annees 70. Comme tels, ces expatries ont ete des acteurs importants dans l'elaboration et la creation de nonveaux espaces sociaux, de la politique militante et d'autres formes d'expression issues du sein des communautes contre culturelles et des movements de la Nouvelle gauche. Aides par la classe et le privilege racial, bon nombre de ces expatries ont ete en mesure de participer a la culture puplique de la ville et de l'engager comme per d'autres migrants. Cette capacite a integrer les quartiers alternatifs de Toronto, ses scenes et ses communautes intentionnelles a neanmoins ete facilitee par les connexions transnationales et les objectifs liant actions locales avec aspirations et collaborateurs mondiaux.
