Knowing Nukes
The Politics and Culture of the AtomWilliam Chaloupka
University of Minnesota Press, 1992
Countering critics who charge that postmodern positions on language, authority, and power cannot inform effective political responses, this compelling analysis employs these same methods to examine antinuclear politics. Star Wars (the movie and the antimissile system), the Freeze movement, Reaganism, and “lifestyle” politics all receive new treatments.
