Yet the terms on which they can access agricultural land have changed significantly, due to two main processes: the expansion of land uses that displace smallholders such as conservation areas, large scale plantations, hydro-schemes, and periurban sprawl; and the formalization of land access through titling and licensing schemes, often at the expense of customary rights of access. According to conventional transition narratives, people displaced from the land will move away to find paid work, in agriculture or other sectors. Hence the land question morphs into the labour question. On this front, we find that the availability of paid work is very uneven: people of particular age, gender, and ethnic groups may successfully navigate migrant labour regimes, while others are stuck in place – unable to live on the land as before, yet without an alternative. The talk offers a comparative exploration of changing relations of land and labour across the region, and some case studies from particular sites.Tania Murray Li is a guest researcher at the Fondation Maison des Sciences de L’Homme in Paris, March-April 2016.
