The earthquake was followed by a tsunami that destroyed farmland, cities, factories and the infrastructure of the coastal regions and also caused the nuclear meltdowns in the Fukushima Daiichi Powerplant. In media as well as in research the disaster was perceived as a national catastrophe, overlooking itstransnational character. Japanese diasporic communities worldwide organized support and fundraising events to support the devastated regions and thus showed their solidarity with the homeland. In both transient and permanent Japanese communities being active often became a means to overcome the global, local and personal shockwave of the catastrophe and overcome feelings of insecurity. Yet, the broad variety of activities also furthered diasporic civil society and helped to integrate members of Japanese communities more into the surrounding society. By bringing together disaster studies and diaspora studies and analyzing the reactions of Japanese transient and permanent communities in Ghent, Brussels, Dusseldorf, Sao Paulo, Honolulu and London following the Triple Disaster, this volume will help to get a better understanding of how catastrophes effect diasporic communities.Kultur- und Sozialwissenschaftliche Japanforschung SOCIAL SCIENCE / GeneralbisacshAndreas Niehaus.Christian Tagsold.Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf.Japan.Japanese diaspora communities.Japanforschung.Jutta Teuwsen.Kultur- und Sozialwissenschaftliche Japanforschung.Niko Besnier.Peter Bernardi.Ruth Martin.Tine Walravens.diaspora studies.disaster studies.SOCIAL SCIENCE / General.Tagsold Christianedt1427573Bernardi Peter, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbBesnier Niko, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbMartin Ruth, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbNiehaus Andreas, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbNiehaus Andreas, edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtTagsold Christian, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbTagsold Christian, edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtTeuwsen Jutta, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbWalravens Tine, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996411333103316Diaspora and Disaster3561413UNISA
