Olga Kuchinskaya explores how we know what we know about Chernobyl, describing how the consequences of a nuclear accident were made invisible. The analysis sheds valuable light on how we deal with other modern hazards - toxins or global warming - that are largely imperceptible to the human senses. The book describes the production of invisibility of Chernobyl's consequences in Belarus - practices that limit public attention to radiation and make its health effects impossible to observe. The production of invisibility, the book argues, is a function of power relations.
