Short Communication
A growing body of literature explores rangers perceptions and experiences of implementing conservation activities. In particular, the Global Ranger Perception Survey, carried out by the WWF, is the largest global assessment of ranger perceptions and experiences of working conditions in protected and conserved areas, providing insights into various aspects of the profession of rangers. Nevertheless, when the ranger perception survey data was assoc…

Work, precarity and militant unionism in an industrial Area in the mid-hills of Nepal
This article examines the ways militant (Maoist) unionism has affected labour relations in industries within an industrial area in the mid-hills of Nepal. Much of the ethnography of industrial factories around the globe, I argue, has stressed workers’ growing precarity and the deteriorating conditions of employment. This article, however, outlines a case of a different trajectory, where militant unionists managed to successfully challenge precari…

From Bonded to Industrial Labour
This article focuses on how people who formerly worked as bonded labourers adapt to the new realities of an insecure capitalist labour market. It examines how the past shapes the uncertain labour situation of the present, including resistance. The article reflects on the current experiences of precarious labour at industrial sites in western Nepal. It describes how former bonded labourers and their descendants have begun working as contract worke…
Unfree labour after the Maoist Revolution in western Nepal
What does 'unfree labour' mean in a post-revolutionary context? Based on an ethnographic fieldwork undertaken between 2008 and 2009 in the far-western lowlands of Nepal, this article argues that the brick kiln owners on the Nepal-India border continued their attempts to bind labour by handing out advances and delaying payments, despite the fact that the state had prohibited all forms of bonded labour under the Bonded Labour Abolition Act of 2001.…
In the shadows of the Maoist revolution
This article highlights the contribution of the Nepalese Maoist Movement in the dynamics of claiming symbolic space by formerly bonded labourers (freed Kamaiya) during the Nepalese Maoist revolution. In Nepal, the appropriation of symbolic space by marginalized groups throughout the revolutionary period remains in the shadows of the grand event of the Maoist revolution. Focusing on an urban municipality in Kailali district, in the far-western low…
A Symbiotic Coexistence
The aim of this article is to contribute to our understanding of how the Nepalese Maoist movement intersects with non-Maoist trade unions. I challenge dominant views of an enduring antagonism between the Nepalese Maoist movement and non-Maoist trade unions. Instead, I contend that for an urban municipality in the western tarai, the Maoist movement and non-Maoist labour unions co-reside, in a symbiotic relationship, within the boundaries of the to…
Red salute at work
This article examines changing labor regimes in the wake of the Nepalese Maoist revolution through a historical and ethnographic exploration of brick factory in the Kailali district, western Nepal. I argue that the Maoist rebellion has helped to produce a new young, mobile, and urbanizing working class that in the new political context feels increasingly secure in claiming new spaces for its own emerging pleasure, pastimes, and sociality vis-à-vi…
