"Global nuclear histories often ignore Australia because it has never developed or possessed nuclear weapons. However, Australia has been deeply involved in British and US nuclear imperialism throughout the twentieth century: Australia hosted weapons tests in its central deserts, provided scientific and military aid in building nuclear weapons, mined and exported thousands of tons of uranium, and disposed of radiated waste in the supposedly empty lands of Indigenous peoples. Exploring the ways in which nuclear processes have interacted with, co-opted, and facilitated the long history of colonialism in Australia, Contaminated Country explicates how nuclear development related to other practices of violence, dispossession, segregation, and assimilation. These colonial mechanisms were designed to undermine Aboriginal ways of knowing, being, and relating to Country, and importantly, Aboriginal people have vitally resisted and survived these efforts since the beginning of the twentieth century. Drawing on state and national government archival material, manuscript collections, printed media, and oral history interviews with both Aboriginal nuclear survivors and non-Indigenous people, Urwin unearths the entwined histories nuclear processes, imperialism, and Aboriginal activism"-- Provided by publisher.
