"Here, history, and memory and trauma and land and ethics
are terms in a strange algebra of invention."
MQUP is pleased to announce the release of The Highway of the Atom by Peter C. Van Wyck.
A subarctic mine on the far eastern shores of Great Bear Lake provided Canadian uranium for the bombs detonated over Japan in August 1945. Uncovering the story of the radioactive ore's route from mine to weapon of mass destruction, The Highway of the Atom exposes the legacy of this history for the Dene community and inquires into trauma, landscape, disaster, and memory.
From the fur trade routes of the far North, to the deserts of New Mexico and wartime Japan, The Highway of the Atom weaves together crucial missing pieces about the beginning of the Atomic Age in startling and unexpected ways.
