Since the 1980s, the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant in the south
Indian state of Tamil Nadu has faced multiple forms of resistance.
Women and men from different walks of life - fishers, farmers,
environmentalists, activists, writers, scholars, teachers,
journalists, doctors, and lawyers among many others - have come
together to combat the deadly radioactive repercussions and
repression that come with the development of a high-security
nuclear installation. Drawing upon their experiences, this
historical and ethnographic study accounts for the anti-nuclear
campaign's part in 'right-to-lives' movements while engaging with
the (re)production of knowledge and ignorance in the understanding
of radiation, and efforts to create an evidence base in response to
the otherwise unavailable or insufficient data on the environment
and public health in India. Tracing the grassroots struggle for
'energy justice' off- and on-line, the author looks into the larger
questions of development, democracy, and nationalism. These have
marked not just parts of India identified for large-scale
constructions, but also other regions of the world where state
functionaries have much to gain from corporate collaborations at
the cost of local residents who lose their livelihoods, and are
forcibly displaced, persecuted, or even killed in order to execute
governmental designs in the name of the nation.
