By providing a rich ethnography of wartime social processes in the
former Maoist heartland of Nepal, this book explores how the Maoist
People's War (1996-2006) transformed Nepali society. Drawing on
long-term fieldwork with people who were located at the epicentre
of the conflict, including both ardent Maoist supporters and
'reluctant rebels', it explores how a remote Himalayan village was
forged as the centre of the Maoist rebellion, how its inhabitants
coped with the situation of war and the Maoist regime of
governance, and how they came to embrace the Maoist project and
maintain ordinary life amidst the war while living in a guerilla
enclave. By focusing on people's everyday lives, the book
illuminates how the everyday became a primary site of revolution of
crafting new subjectivities, introducing 'new' social practices and
displacing the 'old' ones, and reconfiguring the ways that people
act in and think about the world through the process of 'embodied
change'.
