| 要約、抄録、注釈等 |
Remaking our understanding of the nuclear age, the author is the first to put Africa in the nuclear world, and the nuclear world in Africa. Africa has long been a major source of fuel for nuclear power and atomic weapons, but does that admit Niger, or any of Africa's other uranium-producing countries, to the select society of nuclear states? Does uranium itself count as a nuclear thing? She lucidly probes the question of what it means for something--a state, an object, an industry, a workplace--to be "nuclear." She then enters African nuclear worlds, focusing on miners and the occupational hazard of radiation exposure and asks, could a mine be a nuclear workplace if (as in some South African mines) its radiation levels went undetected and unmeasured? These questions about being nuclear--"nuclearity"--lie at the heart of today's global nuclear order and the relationships between "developing nations" (often former colonies) and "nuclear powers" (often former colonizers). Nuclearity is not a straightforward scientific classification but a contested technopolitical one. The author follows uranium's path out of Africa and describes the invention of the global uranium market.
