Trade Review

"By tracing the political lives of five student activists over more than a decade, Amanda Snellinger makes an important contribution to political anthropology and South Asian studies as she illuminates the motivations that drive these young people’s entry into formal politics as well as the obstacles that they encounter in their efforts to realize their ambitions. . . .her book is an insightful analysis of how political structures reproduce themselves by socializing young people into their organizational practices, disciplining youthful idealism with the pragmatics of party politics."

* American Ethnologist (AE) *

"[A] well-grounded and nuanced analysis of the process and dynamics of democratic politics in Nepal."

* Journal of Asian Studies *
