DESCRIPTION:
Reading and discussion with Li Onesto, author of Dispatches From the People's War in Nepal. The Maoist revolution has been raging in Nepal since 1996. In 1999, Li Onesto became the first foreign journalist to travel deep into the guerilla zones. Allowed unprecedented access, she interviewed political leaders, guerilla fighters, villagers in areas under Maoist control, and relatives of those killed by government forces.

This book is the result of her journey. Illustrated with photographs, it provides an invaluable analysis of the social and economic conditions that have fuelled the revolution and profiles some of the key people involved.

Millions in Nepal now live in areas under guerilla control. Peasants are running grass-roots institutions, exercising what they call "people's power." Li Onesto describes these transformations--the establishment of new governing committees and courts, the confiscation and re-division of land, new cultural and social practices, and the emergence of a new outlook.

Increasingly, the U.K. and U.S. have directly intervened to provide political and military support to the counter-insurgency efforts of the Nepalese regime. Onesto analyzes this in the context of the broader international situation and the "war on terrorism."
