Contaminated Life: 'Hibakusha' in the Nuclear Age

By Adam Broinowski

The hibakusha category was created after the end of the Second World War, and the process of categorization helped the survivors develop an identity. This identity provided grounds for joining the collective action through which they transformed the meaning of hibakusha from a mere legal category into a collective identity bearing the burden to prevent another Hiroshima or Nagasaki.
