Abstract

>American Survivors: Trans-Pacific Memories of Hiroshima and Nagasaki adds a new element to the transnational (cross-national) nature of the historiog-raphy of the atomic bombings, focusing on the hibakusha (atomic survivors) of Hiroshima and Nagasaki who later crossed the Pacific Ocean to the United States. This monograph, a "counter-memory of the bomb" (p. 2), draws upon 130 interviews with both Japanese American and Korean American survivors of the bombings, as well as with Korean survivors in both Japan and Korea insofar as they "interacted meaningfully with their American counterparts" (p. 9).
