Revolution in Nepal brings together fieldwork studies in Nepalese rural areas before, during, and after the revolutionary movement. Accounting for this powerful socio-political project and its far-reaching effects,t his volume seeks to explore the conditions and modalities for an armed revolutionary movement to develop, extend, and encompass all aspects of life. Making use of micro history, oral history, and 'long-term anthropology', it provides some answers to this puzzling question by examining, on the one hand, the antecedents of the People's War and, on the other hand, how it was waged inthe country's rural areas under Maoist control, and the variety of paths it followed in different local and regional contexts.
