Free Download Howard Zinn, "The Bomb"
English | 2010 | pages: 100 | ISBN: 0872865096 | EPUB | 0,2 mb
As a World War II combat soldier, Howard Zinn took part in the aerial bombing of Royan, France. Two decades later, he was invited to visit Hiroshima and meet survivors of the atomic attack. In this short and powerful book, Zinn offers his deep personal reflections and political analysis of these events, their consequences, and the profound influence they had in transforming him from an order-taking combat soldier to one of our greatest anti-authoritarian, antiwar historians. This book was finalized just prior to Zinn’s passing in January 2010, and is published on the sixty-fifth anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima.

Unmaking the Bomb Environmental Cleanup and the Politics of Impossibility (Volume 14)


Free Download Shannon Cram, "Unmaking the Bomb: Environmental Cleanup and the Politics of Impossibility (Volume 14) "
English | ISBN: 0520395123 | 2023 | 222 pages | PDF | 17 MB
What does it mean to reckon with a contaminated world? In Unmaking the Bomb, Shannon Cram considers the complex social politics of this question and the regulatory infrastructures designed to answer it. Blending history, ethnography, and memoir, she investigates remediation efforts at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, a former weapons complex in Washington State. Home to the majority of the nation’s high-level nuclear waste and its largest environmental cleanup, Hanford is tasked with managing toxic materials that will long outlast the United States and its institutional capacities. Cram examines the embodied uncertainties and structural impossibilities integral to that endeavor. In particular, this lyrical book engages in a kind of narrative contamination, toggling back and forth between cleanup’s administrative frames and the stories that overspill them. It spends time with the statistical people that inhabit cleanup’s metrics and models and the nonstatistical people that live with their effects. And, in the process, it explores the uneven social relations that make toxicity a normative condition.
