The "Inheritance" of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Gebunden

Klappentext

ith 2025 marking the 80th anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, this timely study
focuses on the challenge of keisho or "inheritance" and the way a new generation of
scholars and activists is re-examining the meaning of the A-bomb and the 80-year history
of commemoration and activism in the stricken cities. Comprising a team of scholars
based in the USA and Japan, many of whom are academics from this new generation, The
"Inheritance" of Hiroshima and Nagasaki takes a critical look at a range of historical topics
from the 80-year history of post-atomic Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and beyond.

By examining both global connections and the local history of the two cities, this book
extricates memory from a national Japanese perspective, rethinking the history of survivors,
their experience, and their movement and exploring material culture and the problem of
inheritance and legacy.
