Most of us the world over do not know much about the nuclear
experience, let alone the 70,000 Korean victims of the atomic bomb
or their arts of life and survival. Quietude: A Musical
Anthropology of "Korea's Hiroshima" gives new insight into the
overlooked and abused people who have lived and died on the margins
of East Asian modernity. This book is an ethnography of Korean
first- and second-generation victims of the atomic bombing of Japan
focused on the everyday arts that make life possible and
worthwhile. Author Joshua D. Pilzer recounts the stories and songs
of atomic bomb survivors and their children in Hapcheon, Korea,
offering a corrective to the enduring, multifaceted neglect and
marginalization they have faced. Struck by the quiet of "Korea's
Hiroshima," Pilzer sheds light on its many sources: notions of
Japanese soft-spokenness, vocal disability, the quiet contemplation
of texts, the changes to the human heart as one grows older, the
experience of war, social marginalization, traumatic experience,
and various social movement discourses. He considers victims' uses
of voice, speech, song, and movement in the struggle for national
and global recognition, in the ongoing work of negotiating the
traumatic past, and in the effort to consolidate and maintain
selves and relationships in the present.
