Synopsis
Cardamom and Class investigates the history of economic differentiation in a Limbu village in east Nepal.
By examining three historically overlapping productive processes — subsistence agriculture, cardamom cultivation, and international migration — this book shows how each productive process has contributed in different ways to the acceleration of economic differentiation and rural class formation. In particular it focuses on cardamom, introduced to the village in 1968, which as a highvalue cash-crop has provided a means to transform significantly the lives of a large section of Limbu society.
Despite the increased integration of the village with a national and global market, the continued existence of Limbu language and cultural practises emphasizes the active role villagers have played in shaping their current condition.
“Ian Fitzpatrick has been able to reconstruct the recent history of class formation in the village of Mamangkhe, the out-migration that this has led to, the paradoxical process by which a once multi-caste settlement has become ‘the most traditional Limbu village’, and the ways in which migration, cardamom production, and debt interact and produce class differentiation. This detailed and important ethnography is a worthy successor to the classic works on the Limbus of Lionel Caplan and Philippe Sagant and a significant addition to the corpus of ethnographic works on Nepal as a whole.”
Professor David N. Gellner, University of Oxford
