Joel Andreas' book Disenfranchised: The Rise and Fall of Industrial Citizenship in China (Oxford, 2019) has been awarded the Joseph Levenson Book Prize by the Association for Asian Studies. The prize is awarded each year to two books, one whose main focus is on China before 1900, the other for works on post-1900 China; Disenfranchised won in the latter category. According to the association, the prizes are awarded to books written in English "that make the greatest contribution to increasing understanding of the history, culture, society, politics, or economy of China." Andreas is a professor in the Department of Sociology.
