Half a century after the CIA's Secret War in Laos-the largest
bombing campaign in history-explosive remnants of war continue to
be part of people's everyday lives. In Bomb Children Leah Zani
offers a perceptive analysis of the long-term, often subtle, and
unintended effects of massive air warfare. Zani traces the
sociocultural impact of cluster submunitions-known in Laos as "bomb
children"-through stories of explosives clearance technicians and
others living and working in these old air strike zones. Zani
presents her ethnography alongside poetry written in the field,
crafting a startlingly beautiful analysis of state terror,
authoritarian revival, rapid development, and ecological
contamination. In so doing, she proposes that postwar zones are
their own cultural and area studies, offering new ways to
understand the parallel relationship between ongoing war violence
and postwar revival.
