Description

One of the most important political transitions to occur in South Asia in recent decades was the ouster of Nepals monarchy in 2006 and the institution of a democratic secular republic in 2008. Based on extensive ethnographic research between 2003 and 2015, Making New Nepal provides a snapshot of an activist generations political coming-of-age during a decade of civil war and ongoing democratic street protests.

Amanda Snellinger illustrates this generations entre into politics through the stories of five young revolutionary activists as they shift to working within the newly established party system. She explores youth in Nepali national politics as a social mechanism for political reproduction and change, demonstrating the dynamic nature of democracy as a radical ongoing process.
