Genay focuses on personal experiences in relation to postwar socioeconomic and cultural changes rather than on Cold War policy and political and scientific figures in order to give a sense of the upheaval that accompanied the rise of the nuclear era. She gives voice to the Hispanics and Native Americans of the JeÌmez Plateau, the blue-collar workers of Los Alamos, the miners and residents of the Grants Uranium Belt, and the ranchers and farmers who were affected by the federal appropriation of land in White Sands Missile Range and whose lives were upended by the Trinity test and the US government's reluctance to address the 'collateral damage' of the work at the Range. Genay reveals the far-reaching implications to the residents of New Mexico as the state acquired a new identity from its embrace with nuclear science"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 291-306) and index. 505 0 $a Ground zero -- Land of cultural and economic survival -- The skeleton of a domestic nuclear empire -- The manifest destiny of atomic scientists -- The atomic sun shines over the desert -- The nuclear golden goose -- A federal sponsor -- Cloaked in secrecy -- Dangerous practices, toxic legacies -- The sociocultural impacts of a scientific conquest -- Land, lawsuits, and waste -- Memory. 650 0 $a Nuclear weapons industry $z New Mexico $x History. 650 0 $a Nuclear weapons industry $x Social aspects $z New Mexico. 650 0 $a Nuclear weapons industry $x Environmental aspects $z New Mexico. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Genay, Lucie, 1987- $t Land of nuclear enchantment. $d Albuquerque : University of New Mexico Press, 2019 $z 9780826360144 $w (DLC) 2018036459 941 $a 2 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20200319010231.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190605015854.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9889DD586CA011E9A39CB90697128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
