*NEPALI MAGAZINEKA 25 BARSHA, 2046 - 2070 V.S. [TWENTY FIVE YEARS OF NEPALI MAGAZINES, in Nepali] * Edited by: Arjun Panthi, Pratyoush Onta and Harsha Man Maharjan ISBN: 978-9937-594-06-6 Pages: xiv + 434 2013, Price: NRs 400 Chautari Book Series 77 About two thousand Nepali magazines have been published in the past 25 years. However, they have not been the subject of any systematic academic studies so far. This book is a preliminary attempt to fill that gap. It contains chapters on some of the most influential news/opinion magazines of the last quarter century /- Mulyankan, Janamanch, Himal Khabarpatrika, Nepal/ - as well as magazines that were part of the women's (/Asmita)/, janajati (Tamang magazine /Chhar Gongma/, Tharu magazines and various janajati magazines published in the 1990s) and dalit (/Jana Utthan/) movements in Nepal. Other chapters are dedicated to examining the links between the market and political parties with respect to the Maoist magazines and the lives of alternative magazines such as the bi-monthly /Himal, Asmita, Bikas and Haka-Haki/. Special interest magazines such as /Nari /and/Nawa Yuba/ are the subject of two separate chapters. The introduction by the editors provides an historical overview of the magazine landscape in post-Panchayat Nepal. This book will be of interest to specialists of Nepali print media history and to all others who want to understand the many changes that Nepal has underdone since 1990. *Arjun Panthi, Pratyoush Onta and Harsha Man Maharjan* are researchers based at Martin Chuatari in Kathmandu, Nepal. Between them they have written, co-written, edited and co-edited more than a dozen books related to Nepali media.
