Day Of Two Suns Summary
Beginning from 1942 to 1992 the United States has done almost 1032 nuclear bomb testing around the equator. Even though it was a big step forward for the United States, when it comes to developing nuclear bombs. Consequently, the bomb testing resulted civilians to move from their hometown, furthermore left them exposed to radiation as a result causing them several unwanted diseases and genetic mutations. The worst part is at times, the civilians were left with no right to express their opinion nor feelings towards the bomb testing. That’s when Jane Dibblin a British journalist steps up. In her book the Day of Two Suns: U.S. Nuclear Testing and the Pacific Islanders Dibblin projects to the world the unheard voices of the native villagers

Nuclear Testing and the Pacific Islanders Dibbling mostly defies the scientific data that are report by scientists and doctor. As an illustration after the bomb bravo dropped increasingly women started to have miscarriages. When Doctor Conard was asked what is the reasoning of these several miscarriages. He replied that the miscarriages are due to illegal abortion. Dibbling didn’t stop there she criticize Conard by stating that it’s culturally acceptable for women to have unwanted babies in the village in fact she provokes the scientists by saying “what the study fails to question is whether the ‘unexposed; women began to have more miscarriages as they ingested radioactive substance in food and water on Rongelap”(Dibblin 40).The essence of Dibblin argument is that the scientist didn’t do enough research or follow up to check whether the unexposed women were consuming radioactive in any format. Although she doesn’t have a certified proof to support her claim for the cause of miscarriage she goes on by stating a general assumption of how “by 1960 it was widely known that radiation could produce fetal and genetic damage and doctors should have been on the lookout for it” (Dibblin 40). Dublin’s point is that it’s a known fact that by 1960 radiation could cause birth defects, the doctors should have known by now that the women in Rongelap might have had the same effect. This shows that she doesn’t have a certified proof but she does stay still in her
