Using a team of scholars based in the USA and Japan, many of who are academics from this new generation, \u003ci\u003eThe 'Inheritance' of Hiroshima and Nagasaki \u003c\/i\u003etakes a critical look at the problem of inheritance and the current transitory moment in A-bomb commemoration and nuclear scholarship by looking at a range of historical topics from the 80-year history of post-atomic Hiroshima \u0026amp; Nagasaki, and beyond. The book does this by: examining historical memory in a way that disengages the two cities from a Japanese-national memory perspective by looking at global connections, on one hand, and the local history of the two cities; re-thinking the history of survivors, their experience, and their movement; and, finally, exploring material culture and the problem of inheritance and legacy.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaika Nakao \u003c\/b\u003eis Associate Professor at Hiroshima University, Japan.
