In Radiation and Revolution political theorist and anticapitalist
activist Sabu Kohso uses the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster to
illuminate the relationship between nuclear power, capitalism, and
the nation-state. Combining an activist's commitment to changing
the world with a theorist's determination to grasp the world in its
complexity, Kohso outlines how the disaster is not just a pivotal
event in postwar Japan; it represents the epitome of the
capitalist-state mode of development that continues to devastate
the planet's environment. Throughout, he captures the lived
experiences of the disaster's victims, shows how the Japanese
government's insistence on nuclear power embodies the constitution
of its regime under the influence of US global strategy, and
considers the future of a radioactive planet driven by nuclearized
capitalism. As Kohso demonstrates, nuclear power is not a mere
source of energy-it has become the organizing principle of the
global order and the most effective way to simultaneously
accumulate profit and govern the populace. For those who aspire to
a world free from domination by capitalist nation-states, Kohso
argues, the abolition of nuclear energy and weaponry is imperative.
