About

Canadian Solidarity with East Timor is a history in images of the East Timor Alert Network and other Canadian solidarity activism. Its approach is a series of snapshots: no claim is made to telling the complete story. Compilation of images from ETAN papers (mostly held in McMaster University Archives, Hamilton, Ontario – click for file list) and courtesy of Elaine Briere, Maggie Helwig, and Jess Agustin.

Compilation and text by David Webster, Bishop’s University, dwebster AT ubishops DOT ca. Support was provided by the Association for Asian Studies, Bishop’s University Senate Research Committee, and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.

This project forms part of an upcoming book project: David Webster, Challenge the Wind: Canada and East Timor, 1975-99.
