Cengage Learning Bravo for the Marshallese - Cengage Learning Case Study

Bravo for the Marshallese: Regaining Control in a Post-Nuclear, Post-Colonial World (2nd ed.) explores the lasting effects of the U.S. nuclear weapons testing program conducted in the Marshall Islands between 1946 and 1958. Published by Cengage Learning, this case study examines how an applied anthropologist works with Marshallese communities to understand the impact of radiation exposure on both the environment and the people. Through archival, life history, and ethnographic research, the author provides a history of the testing program from a Marshallese perspective. The text also addresses the challenges faced by these communities and how the U.S. Government manages its responsibilities regarding the issues created by the testing program. This book serves as a significant resource for studying contemporary social issues and post-colonial history.
