Hibakusha since I was born
We, in-utero Hibakusha and our families, published a book about our experiences with the shocking title, “We are Hibakusha since I was born”. It must have been about four years ago when Prof. Koichi Kimoto visited Kure Mitsuda High School before completing the memoir, and I asked him if I could translate this book into English. However, things have developed dramatically, and Ms. Shizuku Sadaiwa, a third-year student at Kwansei Gakuin University and a third-generation atomic bomb survivor, contacted her friends using free communication apps. The movement spread like wildfire, and about 50 students from 10 universities, including her University, International Christian University, Hokkaid...
Reflecting on the 70 Years after the A-bombing
We were born after being exposed to radiation from the first-ever atomic bombing. We thought it would be a good idea to ask the members to look back on their past and write their own 70-year life history. The hard times we came through and our future hopes will be included in the booklet, though we will still be faced with endless anxiety about our health. I hope young people will take positive steps forward looking into the future.
The Children of Atomic Bomb Survivors
Do persons exposed to radiation suffer genetic effects that threaten their yet-to-be-born children? Researchers are concluding that the genetic risks of radiation are less than previously thought. This finding is explored in this volume about the children of atomic bomb survivors in Hiroshima and Nagasakiâ€"the population that can provide the greatest insight into this critical issue. Assembled here for the first time are papers representing more than 40 years of research. These documents reveal key results related to radiation's effects on pregnancy termination, sex ratio, congenital defects, and early mortality of children. Edited by two of the principal architects of the studies, J. V. Neel and W. J. Schull, the volume also offers an important comparison with studies of the genetic effects of radiation on mice. The wealth of technical details will be immediately useful to geneticists and other specialists. Policymakers will be interested in the overall conclusions and discussion of future studies.
生まれた時から被爆者－胎内被爆者の想い、次世代に託すもの
「生まれた時から被爆者」である胎内被爆者が、就職や結婚、子どもの誕生、病気になったとき、母親やなど身内がなくなったときどういう気持ちであったか…。 74年間歩んできた人生を振り返り、子ども、孫、次世代に残したいものを自由に書いていただきたいと胎内被爆者の会会員をはじめ全国の胎内被爆者の方へ原爆被害者団体、マスコミを通して呼びかけました。 その結果、埼玉、東京、岐阜、富山、福井、京都、奈良、兵庫、香川、愛媛、福岡、熊本、長崎、沖縄から応募があり、広島からは21人の方から体験記が寄せられ、合計42編の体験集となりました。 この体験記が次世代の方たちに何らかの示唆を与えられれば幸いと思っています。
Remaking a World
Remaking a World completes a triptych of volumes on social suffering, violence, and recovery. Social Suffering, the first volume, deals with sources and major forms of social adversity, with an emphasis on political violence. The second, Violence and Subjectivity, contains graphic accounts of how collective experience of violence can alter individual subjectivity. This third volume explores the ways communities "cope" with—endure, work through, break apart under, transcend—traumatic and other more insidious forms of violence, addressing the effects of violence at the level of local worlds, interpersonal relations, and individual lives. The authors highlight the complex relationship between recognition of suffering in the public sphere and experienced suffering in people's everyday lives. Rich in local detail, the book's comparative ethnographies bring out both the recalcitrance of tragedy and the meaning of healing in attempts to remake the world.

Nagasaki
On August 9th, 1945, the US dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki. It killed a third of the population instantly, and the survivors, or hibakusha, would be affected by the life-altering medical conditions caused by the radiation for the rest of their lives. They were also marked with the stigma of their exposure to radiation, and fears of the consequences for their children. Nagasaki follows the previously unknown stories of five survivors and their families, from 1945 to the present day. It captures the full range of pain, fear, bravery and compassion unleashed by the destruction of a city.Susan Southard has interviewed the hibakusha over many years and her intimate portraits of their lives sh...
Suffering Made Real
The atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August of 1945 unleashed a force as mysterious as it was deadly—radioactivity. In 1946, the United States government created the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission (ABCC) to serve as a permanent agency in Japan with the official mission of studying the medical effects of radiation on the survivors. The next ten years saw the ABCC's most intensive research on the genetic effects of radiation, and up until 1974 the ABCC scientists published papers on the effects of radiation on aging, life span, fertility, and disease. Suffering Made Real is the first comprehensive history of the ABCC's research on how radiation affected the survivors of the...
