Requests:  0 Summary:  "Bombarded with the equivalent of one Hiroshima bomb a day for half a century, Pacific people have long been subjected to man-made cataclysm. Well before climate change became a global concern, nuclear testing brought about untimely death, widespread diseases, forced migration, and irreparable destruction to the shores of Oceania. In The Ocean on Fire, Anaïs Maurer analyzes the Pacific literature that incriminates the environmental racism behind radioactive skies and rising seas. Maurer identifies strategies of resistance uniting the region by analyzing an extensive multilingual archive of decolonial Pacific art in French, Spanish, English, Tahitian, and Uvean, ranging from literature to songs and paintings. She shows how Pacific nuclear survivors' stories reveal an alternative vision of the apocalypse: instead of promoting individualism and survivalism, they advocate mutual assistance, cultural resilience, South-South solidarities, and Indigenous women's leadership. Drawing upon their experience resisting both nuclear colonialism and carbon imperialism, Pacific storytellers offer compelling narratives to nurture the land and each other in times of global environmental collapse"-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult New Books H 809.89965 Ma in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H 809.89965 Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library R -- Hawaiian & Pacific H 809.89965 Ma Non Circulating   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 809.89965 Maurer Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 809.89965 Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Lahaina Public Library Floating Collection H 809.89965 Ma in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 809.89965 Ma Checked out 06/12/2024 Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 809.89965 Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Princeville Public Library Pop-Up Hawaiian Nonfiction H 809.89965 Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 809.89965 Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
