fake-truncate js-profile-about" style="margin: 0px;">I am an associate professor in the Department of Sociology at Johns Hopkins University, where I have been since receiving my PhD from the University of California-Berkeley in 2013.  My research and teaching interests fall in the fields of development sociology, political sociology, agrarian political economy, and sociological theory. I have had a long-standing intellectual and personal engagement with the phenomenon of rural land dispossession for “development projects” such as dams and now Special Economic Zones (SEZs). While dispossession has been a marginal topic in sociology, I believe that the increasing global significance of "land grabs" demands a sociology of dispossession that will prove consequential for our understanding of states, capitalism, agrarian change, and political contention in large parts of the world.<br /><br />My book, Dispossession Without Development: Land Grabs in Neoliberal India (Oxford University Press, 2018), seeks to understand the changing nature and increasing significance of land dispossession in post-liberalization India. It is based, in part, on an ethnography of villages dispossessed for an SEZ in Rajasthan. Using the extended case method, it seeks to advance the concept of regimes of dispossession as a way of understanding the relationship between land dispossession and capitalism in comparative perspective.<br /><br />Another project undertaken in collaboration with Marcel Paret and published in International Sociology, uses cross-country survey data to evaluate the extent, geographic contours, and social composition of growing public opposition to neoliberalism in twenty countries during the 1990s. We are currently updating this project for the 2000s.<br /><span class="u-fw700">Supervisors: </span>Michael Burawoy<br /><div class="js-profile-less-about u-linkUnstyled u-tcGrayDarker

By identifying important factors shaping opposition to land dispossession, the article aims to stimulate comparative research that can advance a political sociology of dispossession.","owner":{"id":212111,"first_name":"Michael","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Levien","page_name":"MichaelLevien","domain_name":"johnshopkins","created_at":"2010-07-03T17:50:00.666-07:00","display_name":"Michael Levien","url":"https://johnshopkins.academia.edu/MichaelLevien"},"attachments":[{"id":67391479,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/67391479/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Toward_a_Political_Sociology_of_Dispossession.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/67391479/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Toward_a_Political_Sociology_of_Disposse.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/67391479/Toward_a_Political_Sociology_of_Dispossession-libre.pdf?1621611346=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DToward_a_Political_Sociology_of_Disposse.pdf\u0026Expires=1738802653\u0026Signature=cTsQ60DgYMuL0yuY5J1aOI~StSPXB2LUEKfKSVm~hD4S45zyzMN26QVxuUq7My9rWztLTU1HU6o7cobYY3c83ecEDg61d3daxCkep764vuheEq2bN-FBqlbmW5XYTJM6aUP5v6yHRM9ZSlUHkXqjva~4JvfG~tHN~Lu634mY1zZ9V6LFk79mL1fUIchx~LKrmvR98LEa0e8BDOgEO8H3xkEkrvPdlNtpG6nj9GNQ0XG4m4OY1xv3a41Y9zW4beDpjKZ~pSKzZkp~ForZbJWeQaBzoV5-bwJ3geVygJzUGU3awI8ZWZrnJuuwA7LidWOuCuhuTuRq~OYXQwX-6fssjw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":184,"name":"Sociology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Sociology"},{"id":201,"name":"Political Sociology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Political_Sociology"},{"id":977,"name":"Development Studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Development_Studies"},{"id":3533,"name":"Agrarian Studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Agrarian_Studies"},{"id":3536,"name":"Peasant Studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Peasant_Studies"},{"id":4486,"name":"Political Science","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Political_Science"},{"id":19672,"name":"Indian Politics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Indian_Politics"},{"id":43838,"name":"India","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/India"},{"id":47642,"name":"Accumulation by Dispossession","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Accumulation_by_Dispossession"},{"id":51411,"name":"Sociology of Development","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Sociology_of_Development"},{"id":156477,"name":"Land Grabbing","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Land_Grabbing"},{"id":635809,"name":"Agrarian Political Economy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Agrarian_Political_Economy"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="48969107"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/48969107/Review_of_Julia_Chuangs_Beneath_the_China_Boom"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Review of Julia Chuang's Beneath the China Boom" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/67361611/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/48969107/Review_of_Julia_Chuangs_Beneath_the_China_Boom">Review of Julia Chuang's Beneath the China Boom</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>The Journal of Asian Studies</span><span>, 2021</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">China's prolonged economic boom has long depended on the extraction of cheap migrant labor from t...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">China's prolonged economic boom has long depended on the extraction of cheap migrant labor from the countryside and increasingly relies on the expropriation of cheap rural land for urbanization.

The paper first identifies some of the very common gendered effects of dispossession. In each case, it shows that land dispossession reproduced women’s lack of independent land rights or reversed them where they existed; intensified household reproductive work; and occurred without meaningful consultation with—much less decision-making by—rural women. The paper secondly demonstrates ways in which the gendered consequences of land dispossession vary across forms of dispossession and agrarian milieu. The most important dimension of this variation is the effect of land loss on the gendered division of labor, which is often deleterious but varies qualitatively across the cases examined. The paper also illustrates important variation within dispossessed populations as gender intersects with class, caste, and other inequalities. The article concludes that land dispossession consistently contributes to gender inequality, albeit in social and historically specific ways. So while defensive struggles against land dispossession will not in themselves transform patriarchal social relations, they may be a pre-condition for more offensive struggles for gender equality.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="0f1cf77eef28afba1da3dd658e8b5093" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":54642870,"asset_id":34783896,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/54642870/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="34783896"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="34783896"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 34783896; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=34783896]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=34783896]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 34783896; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='34783896']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "0f1cf77eef28afba1da3dd658e8b5093" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=34783896]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":34783896,"title":"Gender and Land Dispossession: A Comparative Analysis","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"This papers seeks to advance our understanding of the gendered implications of land dispossession.

Although each article treats developments within<br />one country, the collection helps uncover features common to<br />rural land dispossession in China and India, and illuminates<br />differences that shape the processes of dispossession in each<br />country. Comparison of the two countries helps us to not only<br />understand the future implications of this enormously important<br />issue for economic growth, social inequality and politics in both<br />countries, but also contributes insights useful for understanding<br />this issue elsewhere in the world.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="17736e21a8bf4673309c2a8c8bdd8d0c" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":66602876,"asset_id":47587969,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/66602876/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="47587969"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="47587969"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 47587969;

We assess this argument through comparative ethnographic and survey research into the consequences of dispossession for Dalits in the cases of two Special Economic Zones built during the 2000s. We advance three arguments. The first, methodological, is that approaching this question requires systematically comparing the outcomes of dispossession for Dalits relative to upper castes. The second, based on such an assessment, is that the interaction between exclusionary growth and caste-based agrarian inequalities has in both cases expanded socio-economic inequalities between upper and lower castes and left most dispossessed Dalits worse off in absolute terms. Third, the cases demonstrate important qualitative differences across generally bad outcomes for Dalits, which derive from the combination of project characteristics and pre-existing agrarian inequalities. While demonstrating how the exclusionary growth driving dispossession in contemporary India is generally unpromising for Dalits, we underscore the importance of comparative ethnographic research into the interaction between different forms of dispossession and specific agrarian social structures.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="e21369d8f4474e9f5edd6ae79f54bc57" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":58887549,"asset_id":38796814,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/58887549/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="38796814"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="38796814"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 38796814; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=38796814]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=38796814]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 38796814; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='38796814']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "e21369d8f4474e9f5edd6ae79f54bc57" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=38796814]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":38796814,"title":"Dalits and Dispossession: A Comparison","translated_title":"","metadata":{"doi":"10.1080/00472336.2019.1597145","abstract":"Widespread “land wars” in contemporary India have rekindled older debates over the implications of capitalism for caste, with some arguing that land dispossession for new economy projects may be liberating for Dalits.

The paper first identifies some of the very common gendered effects of dispossession. In each case, it shows that land dispossession reproduced women’s lack of independent land rights or reversed them where they existed; intensified household reproductive work; and occurred without meaningful consultation with—much less decision-making by—rural women. The paper secondly demonstrates ways in which the gendered consequences of land dispossession vary across forms of dispossession and agrarian milieu. The most important dimension of this variation is the effect of land loss on the gendered division of labor, which is often deleterious but varies qualitatively across the cases examined. The paper also illustrates important variation within dispossessed populations as gender intersects with class, caste, and other inequalities. The article concludes that land dispossession consistently contributes to gender inequality, albeit in social and historically specific ways. So while defensive struggles against land dispossession will not in themselves transform patriarchal social relations, they may be a pre-condition for more offensive struggles for gender equality.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="0f1cf77eef28afba1da3dd658e8b5093" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":54642870,"asset_id":34783896,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/54642870/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="34783896"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="34783896"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 34783896; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=34783896]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=34783896]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 34783896; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='34783896']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "0f1cf77eef28afba1da3dd658e8b5093" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=34783896]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":34783896,"title":"Gender and Land Dispossession: A Comparative Analysis","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"This papers seeks to advance our understanding of the gendered implications of land dispossession.

The findings highlight the uneven impacts of land grabs, revealing that while wealthier families can adapt, poorer families suffer significant losses in income and livelihoods, thereby altering the

Dispossession Without Development demonstrates that beneath these conflicts lay a profound shift in regimes of dispossession. While the postcolonial Indian state dispossessed land mostly for public-sector industry and infrastructure, since the 1990s state governments have become land brokers for private real estate capital. Using the case of a village in Rajasthan that was dispossessed for a private Special Economic Zone, the book ethnographically illustrates the exclusionary trajectory of capitalism driving dispossession in contemporary India. Taking us into the lives of diverse villagers in "Rajpura," the book meticulously documents the destruction of agricultural livelihoods, the marginalization of rural labor, the spatial uneveness of infrastructure provision, and the dramatic consequences of real estate speculation for social inequality and village politics. Illuminating the structural underpinnings of land struggles in contemporary India, this book will resonate in any place where "land grabs" have fueled conflict in recent years.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="3df6a96ad54d5e9858f5799830af8cc2" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":56132686,"asset_id":36229152,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/56132686/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="36229152"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="36229152"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 36229152; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=36229152]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=36229152]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 36229152; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='36229152']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "3df6a96ad54d5e9858f5799830af8cc2" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=36229152]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":36229152,"title":"Dispossession without Development: Land Grabs in Neoliberal India","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"Since the mid-2000s, India has been beset by widespread farmer protests against land dispossession.
