Religion and Hiroshima: Beyond the Mushroom Cloud
How should the horror of the atom bomb be remembered? In what ways might we remember so that the terrible experience of its use might be transformed into hope for a universal community of peace? In a fascinating case study, Yuki Miyamoto compares how Buddhist and Catholic survivors of the 1945 bombings make sense of their experiences through an ethic of "not retaliation, but reconciliation." This study is not only of great historical interest, but also provides help for us as we reflect on the continued threat of nuclear catastrophe.
Yuki Miyamoto is Professor of Religious Studies at DePaul University and is an ethicist whose work centers on nuclear discourse and environmental ethics through the framework of comparative ethics. She is the author of various books, including Beyond the Mushroom Cloud: Commemoration, Religion, and Responsibility After Hiroshima.
