American Scientists and Human Rights from the Early Republic to the Cold War
AvPaul Rubinson
Häftad, Engelska, 2027
447 kr
Kommande
In this insightful book, Paul Rubinson traces the deep and complex relationship between scientists and human rights since the founding of the United States to the present day. Through vivid accounts of dozens of individuals, both from the US and overseas, this work reveals the influence and importance of science as a human endeavour in foreign relations rather than simply the scientific export of knowledge. American scientists took part in one of the greatest social movements in world history and reshaped the ideals of universal human rights for their own national purpose. Informed by extensive research of archival documents, memoirs, oral histories, and poems, Rubinson recovers a side of scientists that is largely forgotten: how they created a world of international scientific values centered around the US and its interests.

The massive movement against nuclear weapons began with the invention of the atomic bomb in 1945 and lasted throughout the Cold War. Antinuclear protesters of all sorts mobilized in defiance of the move toward nuclear defense in the wake of the Cold War. They influenced U.S. politics, resisting the mindset of nuclear deterrence and mutually-assured destruction. The movement challenged Cold War militarism and restrained leaders who wanted to rely almost exclusively on nuclear weapons for national security. Ultimately, a huge array of activists decided that nuclear weapons made the country less secure, and that, through testing and radioactive fallout, they harmed the very people they were supposed to protect. Rethinking the American Antinuclear Movement provides a short, accessible overview of this important social and political movement, highlighting key events and figures, the strengths and weaknesses of the activists, and its lasting effects on the country. It is perfect for anyone wanting to obtain an introduction to the American antinuclear movement and the massive reach of this transnational concern.

Redefining Science
Scientists, the National Security State, and Nuclear Weapons in Cold War America

The Cold War forced scientists to reconcile their values of internationalism and objectivity with the increasingly militaristic uses of scientific knowledge. For decades, antinuclear scientists pursued nuclear disarmament in a variety of ways, from grassroots activism to transnational diplomacy and government science advising. The U.S. government ultimately withstood these efforts, redefining science as a strictly technical endeavor that enhanced national security and deeming science that challenged nuclear weapons on moral grounds ""emotional"" and patently unscientific. In response, many activist scientists restricted themselves to purely technical arguments for arms control. When antinuclear protest erupted in the 1980s, grassroots activists had moved beyond scientific and technical arguments for disarmament. Grounding their stance in the idea that nuclear weapons were immoral, they used the ""emotional"" arguments that most scientists had abandoned.Redefining Science shows that the government achieved its Cold War ""consensus"" only by active opposition to powerful dissenters and helps explain the current and uneasy relationship between scientists, the public, and government in debates over issues such as security, energy, and climate change.
