Windows into a revolution: ethnographies of Maoism in South Asia

Date
2009
Abstract
A red corridor stretching from Nepal in the North, to the state of Andhra Pradesh, India, in the South, grips the public imagination in South Asia. Despite the collapse of socialism and the demise of communist governments across the world, in South Asia, Maoist movements have (re)emerged as a significant force in the region. India and Nepal have had people across the country mobilised in protracted guerrilla war aimed at annihilating class enemies, creating liberated zones and seizing state power through the barrel of the gun.
