"The disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was an event of obviously transnational significance-not only in the airborne particulates it deposited across the European continent, but in the political and social repercussions it set off well beyondthe Soviet bloc. Focusing on the cases of Great Britain and France, this innovative study explores the discourses and narratives that arose in the wake of the incident among both state and nonstate actors. It gives a thorough account of the stereotypes, framings, and "othering" strategies that shaped Western European responses to the disaster as well as nuclear policy up to the present day"--

Readers will find Kalmbachs book a good companion for the Chernobyl history literature... Kalmbachs work also sits on a shelf of the new disaster studies scholarship that explores the politics of disaster as contingent, urgent, and slow moving. Technology and Culture





an engaging tale chronicling the construction of narratives comprising the discursive legacy of Chernobyl outside of Eastern EuropeA reminder that the Chernobyl debates are not over. Isis





Through wide-ranging and careful research, Karena Kalmbach elaborates the many ways in which the Chernobyl accident became a European historical event closely turning around national politics in Great Britain and France. Kalmbach shows the irony of transnational nuclear technologies and nuclear fallout confined in national discourse. Kate Brown, MIT





The Meanings of a Disaster is a meticulously researched, readable, and intelligently argued analysis of over two decades worth of Chernobyl discourse in France and Britain. Sonja Schmid, Virginia Tech





As a follow-up to her skillful study of discourses around nuclear power and radiation protection in France following the Chernobyl disaster, Karena Kalmbach has provided a fresh look at the problem in transnational and comparative perspective. Her argument is well-grounded, based on broad evidence, and embedded within a clear and effective conceptual framework. Anna Veronika Wendland, Herder Institute for Historical Research on East Central Europe
