However, a complete history of Canada's involvement in the Manhattan project and the development of the atomic bomb has been thwarted by restrictions on classified documents. [This book] overcomes these restrictions in an innovative and unconventional history that assembles a narrative from fragments -- interviews, indigenous stories, archives, and physical remains -- while questioning whether it is possible to grasp the past by sifting through what remains. Uncovering the story of the radioactive ore's route from mine to weapon of mass destruction, Peter van Wyck considers the legacy of this history for the Dene community and inquires into trauma, landscape, disaster, and memory. ... weaves together crucial missing pieces about the beginning of the Atomic Age in startling and unexpected ways."--Jacket. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Uranium mines and mining|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85141292|zNorthwest Territories|zPort Radium |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n00008194-781 |xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh99005024 650 0 Atomic bomb|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2007101562 650 0 Chipewyan Indians|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85024416|zNorthwest Territories|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n84127936-781|zGreat Bear Lake Region |xSocial conditions. 650 0 Nuclear industry|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85092998|zCanada|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79007233-781|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005024 650 7 Uranium mines and mining.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1162303 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Atomic bomb.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/820568 650 7 Chipewyan Indians.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 857841 650 7 Social conditions.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919811 650 7 Nuclear industry.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1040250 651 7 Northwest Territories|zPort Radium.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1758562 651 7 Northwest Territories|zGreat Bear Lake Region.|2fast |0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1348332 651 7 Canada.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204310 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aVan Wyck, Peter C.|tHighway of the atom. |dMontreal ; Ithaca : McGill-Queen's University Press, ©2010|z9780773537835|w(OCoLC)630475325 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=404284|zOnline eBook.
