Nuclear Summer: Industrial Development and Political Change in Japan

by Louise Krasniewicz

Book Overview

Louise Krasniewicz reconstructs the drama surrounding the Women's Encampment for a Future of Peace and Justice in Seneca County, New York, analyzing it as a clash both between and within communities. She shows how debates about gender and authority--including questions of morality, patriotism, women's roles, and sexuality--came to overshadow arguments about the risks of living in a nuclear world.
