Congratulations to Gwyn McClelland for the publication of ‘Dangerous Memory in Nagasaki: Prayers, Protests and Catholic Survivor Narratives’

Congratulations to Gwyn McClelland for the publication of Dangerous Memory in Nagasaki: Prayers, Protests and Catholic Survivor Narratives (Routledge, 2019). Examining the Catholic community’s interpretation of the A-bomb, this book not only uses memory to provide a greater understanding of the destruction of the bombing, but also links it to the past experiences of religious persecution, drawing comparisons with the ‘Secret Christian’ groups which survived in the Japanese countryside after the banning of Christianity.
