Description

Remembering Hiroshima is a complicated and intensely politicized process. This book explores unconventional texts and dimensions of culture involved in constituting Hiroshima memories - including history textbook controversies, discourses on the city's tourism and urban renewal projects, campaigns to preserve atomic ruins and survivor's testimonials. Besides clarifying the discourse surrounding the unforgotten catastrophe, the book reflects on questions that accompany any attempts to recover marginalized or silenced experiences. The author asks how acts of rememberance can serve the cause of knowledge without being coopted and deprived of their unsettling and self-critical qualities.
