The unifying idea of Gramsci's famous Prison Notebooks is the
concept of hegemony. In his study of these fragmentary writings,
now published in paperback for the first time, Dr Femia elucidates
the precise character of this concept, explores its basic
philosophical assumptions, and sets out its implications for
Gramsci's explanation of social stability and his vision of the
revolutionary process. A number of prevalent and often
contradictory myths are demolished, and, moreover, certain
neglected aspects of his thought are stressed, including the
predominant role he attributed to economic factors, the importance
he gave to 'contradictory consciousness', and the close connection
between his political thinking and his fundamental philosophical
premises. The author concludes by critically examining Gramsci's
novel solutions to three long-standing problems for Marxist theory:
why has the Western working class not carried out its revolutionary
mission; what is the appropriate strategy for a Marxist party
working within an advanced capitalist framework; and what are the
reasons behind the failure of existing socialist states in their
task of liberation.
