Maoists at the Hearth, which is based on ethnographic research that commenced more than a decade before the escalation of the civil war in 2001, explores the daily life in a hill village in central Nepal, during the "People's War." From the everyday routines before the arrival of the Maoists in the late 1990's through the insurgency and its aftermath, this book examines the changing social relationships among fellow villagers and parties to the conflict. War is not an interruption that suspends social processes. Life in the village focused as usual on social challenges, interpersonal relationships, and essential duties such as managing agricultural work, running households, and organizing development projects. But as Judith Pettigrew shows, social life, cultural practices, and routine activities are reshaped in uncertain and dangerous circumstances. The book considers how these activities were conducted under dramatically transformed conditions and discusses the challenges (and, sometimes, opportunities) that the villagers confronted. By considering local spatial arrangements and their adaptation, Pettigrew explores people's reactions when they lost control of the personal, public, and sacred spaces of the village. A central consideration of Maoists at the Hearth is an exploration of how local social tensions were realized and renegotiated as people supported (and sometimes betrayed) each other and of how villager-Maoist relationships (and to a lesser extent villager-army relationships), which drew on a range of culturally patterned preexisting relationships, were reforged, transformed, or renegotiated in the context of the conflict and its aftermath. 410 0$aEthnography of political violence. 606 $aPolitical violence$xSocial aspects$zNepal 606 $aWar and society$zNepal 607 $aNepal$xHistory$yCivil War, 1996-2006$xSocial aspects 610 $aAfrican Studies. 610 $aAnthropology. 610 $aAsian Studies. 610 $aFolklore. 610 $aLinguistics. 610 $aMiddle Eastern Studies. 615 0$aPolitical violence$xSocial aspects 615 0$aWar and society 676 $a954.96 700 $aPettigrew$b Judith$01594069 701 $aGellner$b David N$0985438 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821392003321 996 $aMaoists at the hearth$93914482 997 $aUNINA
