| Summary: |
Naoko Wake, professor of History at Michigan State University, delivers a talk entitled "Hibakusha in cold war America: the working lives of Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors." Wake discusses the impact nuclear radiation has had on individuals as well as the failure of the American government to provide assistance to Japanese-Americans suffering with radiation related illnesses. Wake highlights the racist nature of this treatment and classifies it as a legacy of the nuclear age and a product of the consistent labeling of Japanese-Americans as foreigners. She answers questions from the audience. The event is convened by professor John P. Beck from the Michigan State University School of Human Resources and Labor Relations. |
