As the United States emerged as a nuclear leader following World War II, Los Alamos, New Mexico, became home to Site Y of the Manhattan Project-home of the atomic bomb. In the process of creating this nuclear technology, human and non-human life was destroyed. The experiences of Native American and Mexican-American communities have been neglected in the history of American nuclear technology. In this study Gómez seeks to show the local history of these two rural communities in New Mexico and how they were touched by the national discourse on the nuclear industrial complex from the spectrum of environmental racism and American exceptionalism. Gómez shows how some of these groups have resisted the mistreatment of their land and communities, while others have become complacent and have acquiesced to American nuclear development. The author incorporates the stories of Native American and Mexican American communities into the history of American nuclear technological development"--Provided by publisher.Mexican AmericansNew MexicoSocial conditions20th centuryMexican AmericansNew MexicoSocial conditions21st centuryIndians of North AmericaNew MexicoSocial conditions20th centuryIndians of North AmericaNew MexicoSocial conditions21st centuryNuclear industrySocial aspectsNew MexicoNuclear industryEnvironmental aspectsNew MexicoMexican AmericansSocial conditionsMexican AmericansSocial conditionsIndians of North AmericaSocial conditionsIndians of North AmericaSocial conditionsNuclear industrySocial aspectsNuclear industryEnvironmental aspects978.90046807305Gómez Myrriah1462683MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910796061303321Nuclear Nuevo México3671760UNINA
