Abstract
This essay offers a decolonial analysis of the inaugural moment of the United States’ Cold War project—the nuclear weapon “testing” in oceanic environments. As an alternative to the usual framing of Pikinni Atoll as a site of the Cold War arms race that tends to invisibilize Marshallese experiences through a Cold War binary logic, this article invites the reader to focus on the Pikinni Atoll as a film set. It offers such an approach with the hope of reframing questions of justice and recognizing the worlds lost due to the production of US nuclear modernity.
