"There is a nuclear ghost in Minamisōma." This is how one resident
describes a mysterious experience following the 2011 nuclear
fallout in coastal Fukushima. Investigating the nuclear ghost among
the graying population, Ryo Morimoto encounters radiation’s
shapeshifting effects. What happens if state authorities,
scientific experts, and the public disagree about the extent and
nature of the harm caused by the accident? In one of the first
in-depth ethnographic accounts of coastal Fukushima written in
English, Nuclear Ghost tells the stories of a diverse group of
residents who aspire to live and die well in their now irradiated
homes. Their determination to recover their land, cultures, and
histories for future generations provides a compelling case study
for reimagining relationality and accountability in the
ever-atomizing world.
