Summary:	"This book is an ethnography of social change and norm-remaking brought about by the Maoist People's War in Nepal between 1996 and 2006. Drawing on long-term fieldwork with people in the former Maoist heartland, including both committed Maoist revolutionaries 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 how they came to embrace the Maoist project and maintain ordinary life during war. Contrary to the dominant narrative, even in the Maoist capital, hailed as a village of resistance, a lot of ordinary people were only 'reluctant rebels' who supported the Maoists because of kinship ties, moral solidarity, and compliance with the Maoist regime of governance. By focusing on the relational side of the Maoist movement--kinship ties between ordinary villagers and guerrillas, fraternal and affective bonds within the Maoist movement--the book explores the social processes and relationships through which the People's War became possible"--
