| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to explore the meanings of nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki for people in the U.S. In the U.S. the nuclear bombings are often considered necessary to have ended its war against Japan. On the other hand, there are American people who consider the nuclear sufferings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as an important lesson for humanity: “We must never allow this to be repeated, for human survival.” This study examined how and why people in the U.S. have interpreted the suffering of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. For this purpose, I conducted fieldwork mainly in New York and San Francisco Bay Area to collect documents and/or interview people regarding anti-nuclear weapons movements, commemorational events for Hiroshima/Nagasaki, and A-bomb survivors and their movements in the U.S.
