Zombie mines. 520 $a "Wastelanding tells the history of the uranium industry on Navajo land in the U.S. Southwest, asking why certain landscapes and the peoples who inhabit them come to be targeted for disproportionate exposure to environmental harm. Uranium mines and mills on the Navajo Nation land have long supplied U.S. nuclear weapons and energy programs. By 1942, mines on the reservation were the main source of uranium for the top-secret Manhattan Project. Today, the Navajo Nation is home to more than a thousand abandoned uranium sites. Radiation-related diseases are endemic, claiming the health and lives of former miners and nonminers alike. Traci Brynne Voyles argues that the presence of uranium mining on DineÌ (Navajo) land constitutes a clear case of environmental racism. Looking at discursive constructions of landscapes, she explores how environmental racism develops over time. For Voyles, the "wasteland," where toxic materials are excavated, exploited, and dumped, is both a racial and a spatial signifier that renders an environment and the bodies that inhabit it pollutable. Because environmental inequality is inherent in the way industrialism operates, the wasteland is the "other" through which modern industrialism is established. In examining the history of wastelanding in Navajo country, Voyles provides "an environmental justice history" of uranium mining, revealing how just as "civilization" has been defined on and through "savagery," environmental privilege is produced by portraying other landscapes as marginal, worthless, and pollutable"--The publisher. 650 0 $a Navajo Indians $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Navajo Indians $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Uranium mines and mining $x History $z Southwest, New $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Uranium mines and mining $x History $z Southwest, New $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Radiation $x History $z Southwest, New $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Navajo Indian Reservation $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Indians of North America. 650 0 $a Medicine $x History $y 20th century. 650 12 $a Radioactive Waste $x adverse effects 650 22 $a Uranium $x adverse effects 650 22 $a Mining $x legislation & jurisprudence 650 22 $a Miners 650 22 $a Minority Health 650 22 $a Indians, North American 650 22 $a History, 20th Century 651 2 $a Southwestern United States 650 6 $a Navajo $x Histoire $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a Navajo $x Histoire $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a Uranium $x Histoire $x Aspect politique $z EÌtats-Unis (Nouveau Sud-Ouest) $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a Uranium $x Histoire $x Aspect social $z EÌtats-Unis (Nouveau Sud-Ouest) $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 651 6 $a Navajo Indian Reservation $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a Peuples autochtones $z AmeÌrique du Nord. 650 6 $a MeÌdecine $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 650 7 $a Indians of North America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969633 650 7 $a Navajo Indians $x Government relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01034822 650 7 $a Navajo Indians $x Health and hygiene. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01034823 650 7 $a Radiation $x Health aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086854 650 7 $a Uranium mines and mining $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01162317 650 7 $a Uranium mines and mining $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01162320 651 7 $a New Southwest. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244556 651 7 $a United States $z Navajo Indian Reservation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01241521 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Voyles, Traci Brynne. $t Wastelanding. $d Minneapolis : University of Minnesota Press, [2015] $z 9781452944487 $w (OCoLC)908839613 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724072828.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C2ED4304214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
