Black Wave: How Networks and Governance Shaped Japan’s 3/11 Disasters

CWF Associate Member, Professor Daniel Aldrich (Director of the Resilience and Security Studies Program at Northeastern University) has a new book coming out next week. The book, entitled Black Wave: How Networks and Governance Shaped Japan’s 3/11 Disasters, illuminates two critical factors that had a direct influence on why survival rates varied so much across the Tōhoku region following the 3/11 disasters and why the rebuilding process has also not moved in lockstep across the region. Individuals and communities with stronger networks and better governance, Aldrich shows, had higher survival rates and accelerated recoveries.

India Moving: A History of Migration

CWF Associate Member, Dr Chinmay Tumbe's book India Moving: A History of Migration (Penguin) will be available in hardcover in July 2019.

From adventure to indenture, martyrs to merchants, Partition to plantation, from Kashmir to Kerala, Japan to Jamaica and beyond, the many facets of the great migrations of India and the world are mapped in India Moving, the first book of its kind. To understand how millions of people have moved — from, to and within India — the book embarks on a journey laced with evidence, argument and wit, providing insights into topics like the slave trade and migration of workers, travelling business communities such as the Marwaris, Gujaratis and Chettiars, refugee crises and the roots of contemporary mass migration from Bihar and Kerala, covering terrain that often includes diverse items such as mangoes, dosas and pressure cookers. India Moving shows the scale and variety of Indian migration and argues that greater mobility is a prerequisite for maintaining the country's pluralistic traditions.
