"In this thoughtful social history of New Mexico's nuclear industry, Lucie Genay traces the scientific colonization of the state in the twentieth century from the points-of-view of the local people, including Hispanics, Native Americans, and Anglos. Genay focuses on personal experiences in relation to postwar socioeconomic and cultural changes rather than on Cold War policy and political and scientific figures in order to give a sense of the upheaval that accompanied the rise of the nuclear era. She gives voice to the Hispanics and Native Americans of the Jémez Plateau, the blue-collar workers of Los Alamos, the miners and residents of the Grants Uranium Belt, and the ranchers and farmers who were affected by the federal appropriation of land in White Sands Missile Range and whose lives were upended by the Trinity test and the US government's reluctance to address the 'collateral damage' of the work at the Range. Genay reveals the far-reaching implications to the residents of New Mexico as the state acquired a new identity from its embrace with nuclear science"--

De la boutique artisanale à l’atelier flexible, de la proto-industrie aux restructurations, les quatre siècles d’histoire des arsenaux de terre sont ceux des ingénieurs de l’Armement aux sources de la continuité de l’État et des « ouvriers de l’État » dont les privilèges, comme ceux de l’entrepreneur, redessinent l’Ancien Régime, et les statuts successifs les Empires et les Républiques, bref, les consensus nationaux. Les archives nationales et syndicales retracent l’élaboration de la rationalisation du travail ou du concept de « nationalisation » des programmes de gauche. Le syndicalisme naissant, le basculement vers le pacifisme des militants de 1918, l’engagement résistant de ceux de 1940, les révocations des années 1950, le pluralisme syndical de la fin du xxe siècle sont éclairés sous un nouveau jour. Étrange destin que celui d’hommes de paix travaillant pour la guerre ! Illustrissimes, l’on ignorait un peu de ce qu’ils furent : Danton, Thomas, Tillon, Gonin… Inconnus, ils sont parfois essentiels : Gervaise et Voilin, précurseurs de la CGT et de la gauche, les ingénieurs visionnaires Danzel ou Enjalbert… une multitude a contribué à façonner notre monde, militants des villes de manufacture et d’arsenal ou simples héritiers de dynasties ouvrières… Douze larges extraits de documents originaux dont 10 inédits, 32 illustrations, 24 graphiques et tableaux introduisent le lecteur dans cet univers qui n’est autre que le sien… et où la volonté politique l’emporte sur la fatalité, au rebours des idéologies dominantes.

For this book a distinguished team of economists and historians-R. W. Davies, Paul R. Gregory, Andrei Markevich, Mikhail Mukhin, Andrei Sokolov, and Mark Harrison-scoured formerly closed Soviet archives to discover how Stalin used rubles to make guns. Focusing on various aspects of the defense industry, a top-secret branch of the Soviet economy, the volume's contributors uncover new information on the inner workings of Stalin's dictatorship, military and economic planning, and the industrial organization of the Soviet economy. Previously unknown details about Stalin's command system come to light, as do fascinating insights into the relations between Soviet public and private interests. The authors show that defense was at the core of Stalin's system of rule; single-minded management of the defense sector helped him keep his grip on power.
