Maps the nuclear landscapes of the US inter-desert southwest, a land sacraficed to the Cold-War arms race and nuclear energy policy. Kuletz documents the tragic consequences and cultural significance of this contaminated land.
For decades, nuclear testing in America''s southwest was shrouded in secrecy, with images gradually made public of mushroom clouds blooming over the desert. Now, another nuclear crisis looms over this region: the storage of tens of thousands of tons of nuclear waste. Tainted Desert maps the nuclear landscapes of the US inter-desert southwest, a land sacrificed to the Cold-War arms race and nuclear energy policy.
