Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references.
Summary:
"A group of Dene from Déline, on the shores of the Great Bear Lake, where the
uranium
that went into the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki had been mined, went to Japan to apologize for their actions. From this Northern community Salverson traces the journey of the
uranium
from Canada to New Mexico and onto Japan. Along the way she examines the impact of the element on the communities where it was mined, processed and turned into weapons. Questions of forgiveness and the blurry lines between victim and perpetrator are addressed in a way that offers healing, but no simple answers. Salverson charts the influence nuclear arms have had on her own life and the lives of those touched by the various traumas of war, atomic or otherwise. Julie Salverson teaches drama at Queen's University. Visit her website at jsalverson.wordpress.com"--Provided by publisher.
