By Jodi Byrd
In her groundbreaking book, Electrified in Paradise, Jodi Byrd tells the story of how Hawai'i became a nuclear colony, and the devastating impact this has had on the people and environment of the islands. Drawing on extensive archival research and interviews with survivors, Byrd traces the history of nuclear testing in Hawai'i from the first atomic bomb test at Bikini Atoll in 1946 to the present day. She shows how the US military used Hawai'i as a testing ground for nuclear weapons, without the consent of the Hawaiian people, and how this has led to a legacy of health problems, environmental contamination, and cultural trauma.
Byrd's book is a powerful indictment of the US nuclear program and its devastating impact on indigenous peoples. She argues that the nuclear testing in Hawai'i was a form of colonialism, and that the US government has failed to take responsibility for the harm it has caused. Electrified in Paradise is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of nuclear weapons, colonialism, and environmental justice.
