自上世纪80年代以来，位于印度南部泰米尔纳德邦的库丹库拉姆核电站就面临着多种形式的阻力。来自各行各业的男女——渔民、农民、环保主义者、活动家、作家、学者、教师、记者、医生和律师等——聚集在一起，与高安全性核设施发展带来的致命放射性影响和压制作斗争。根据他们的经验，这项历史和人种学研究解释了反核运动在“生命权”运动中的作用，同时涉及（重新）产生对辐射的认识和无知，以及努力创建一个证据基础，以应对印度环境和公共卫生方面其他方面无法获得或不充分的数据。通过追踪草根阶层为“能源正义”而进行的斗争，作者探讨了发展、民主和民族主义等更大的问题。这不仅标志着印度被确定为大规模建设的部分地区，也标志着世界上其他地区的国家官员从企业合作中获得了很多好处，而代价是当地居民失去了生计，被迫流离失所，受到迫害，甚至被杀害，以国家的名义执行政府的设计。
Since the 1980s, the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu has faced multiple forms of resistance. Women and men from different walks of life—fishers, farmers, environmentalists, activists, writers, scholars, teachers, journalists, doctors, and lawyers among many others—have come together to combat the deadly radioactive repercussions and repression that come with the development of a high-security nuclear installation. Drawing upon their experiences, this historical and ethnographic study accounts for the anti-nuclear campaign’s part in ‘right-to-lives’ movements while engaging with the (re) production of knowledge and ignorance in the understanding of radiation, and efforts to create an evidence base in response to the otherwise unavailable or insufficient data on the environment and public health in India. Tracing the grassroots struggle for ‘energy justice’off-and on-line, the author looks into the larger questions of development, democracy, and nationalism. These have marked not just parts of India identified for large-scale constructions, but also other regions of the world where state functionaries have much to gain from corporate collaborations at the cost of local residents who lose their livelihoods, and are forcibly displaced, persecuted, or even killed in order to execute governmental designs in the name of the nation.
