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 guerrilla enclave. aPolitics and government-1960vSocial life and customsvSocial conditionsvCommunismvInsurgency--Social aspectsvEthnologvCivil War, 1996-2006--Social aspectszNepal
