All the authors have traveled through and written about different ecological and social zones of the country that were, at one time or another, engulfed by armed violence. The essays are written from various perspectives, each bringing a distinctive voice. Each author was particularly struck by one or two particular issues. Nonetheless, the essays share certain commonalities: each describes the reasons for the author's journeys, the places visited and the Maoist activities in the area. All the articles contain striking observations and reportage pertaining to the period of intense conflict following the breakdown of the second ceasefire in August 2003. The authors have included interesting bits of information often forgotten in other texts where the larger issues of the armed conflict assume center stage. Such 'minor' details indicate the anatomy and sociology of an armed struggle with no clear 'battle zone', one that has turned villages, towns, highways, schools, other institutions and locales throughout Nepal into its battlefield. These articles reveal that no rules were observed in this conflict and the social, psycho-social, economic and political upheavals of nearly ten years of insurgency have left an indelible mark on Nepali citizens. In recording their own impressions and the opinions of others, the essayists also incorporate the speech and ideas of individuals who they overheard during their travels. While some may consider this not academic-like, the ideas collected in this manner actually encompass a wide variety of opinions expressed by ordinary, otherwise silent witnesses of the conflict. Though most of the writers are not ethnographers, they have together furnished deeply insightful and balanced accounts of their experiences and observations. This book contributes to academic knowledge as well as to the body of general information on Nepal in conflict in a style that is neither dry nor heavy. By the Way will appeal to all readers trying to make sense of the conflict in Nepal.".…

Dissonant Desires: Women as Consumers and Pornographic Media in Nepal. Bibliography. Index. "Out Here in Kathmandu is a collection of essays that demonstrates how cities like Kathmandu locally engage, produce and reproduce global cultural processes. The essays in the book showcase Kathmandu as a site where modernity expresses itself through the discourses of fashion, food, sex, love, mass media, caste, gender and class. These discourses, as the essays suggest, broadly constitute the core of the project of 'Nepali' modernity. Through ethnographic finesse and historico-anthropological flair, Mark Liechty also traces the career of middle-class culture and its intimate links with modernity in Nepal's history. Anthropology in Nepal has hitherto been dominated by a focus on rural society and cultures. In contrast, this book discusses the new urban cultural practices of the middle-class in Kathmandu. Written by the leading scholar of modern Kathmandu, this book will be an essential reading for anthropologists and all others trying to understand contemporary Nepal.". …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Infrastructures of Democracy is useful for understanding how the planning and implementation of different modalities of road construction in rural Nepal take place. It is fascinating to read how formal and informal planning for district roads is shaped by the power and influence of political parties eventually leading to burdens for the marginalized people, high levels of corruption among those involved in the nexus, and poor quality of roads. It gives hints to how social justice can be promoted in road building.…
