From uranium mines on the Navajo Nation to craters caused by nuclear testing on the Bikini and Enewetak Atolls, the production and deployment of nuclear weapon technologies have disproportionately harmed Indigenous lands. Sustained exposure to radiation from nuclear weapons and waste affects many communities from Japan to Oceania to the US West. While antinuclear activism often takes political and legal forms, artistic responses to nuclear regimes also prompt social action and resistance.

Resisting the Nuclear is an interdisciplinary edited collection featuring historians, anthropologists, artists, and activists who explore the multifaceted forms of resistance to nuclear regimes. Through a combination of interviews, scholarly essays, and discussions of contemporary art, contributors recenter the victims of nuclear technologies and demonstrate how political and artistic expression can respond to nuclear threats and effect change.

Industry Reviews

"...the attempt to discuss communities around the globe that have all been made to suffer at the hands of the United States' nuclear projects is an admirable act of praxis in a field where "connection" is often discussed but not always prioritized. The legacy of the United States' nuclear violence is not contained to one context, and by employing interdisciplinarity in its methodological and geographic focus, this book attempts something innovative."
