The importance of Antonio Gramsci 's work for postcolonial
studies can hardly be exaggerated, and in this volume, contributors
attempt to situate Gramsci's work in the vast and complex oeuvre of
postcolonial studies. Specifically, this book endeavors to reassess
the impact on postcolonial studies of the central role assigned by
Gramsci to culture and literature in the formation of a truly
revolutionary idea of the national a notion that has profoundly
shaped the thinking of both Frantz Fanon and Edward Said. Gramsci,
as Iain Chambers has argued, has been instrumental in helping
scholars rethink their understanding of historical, political, and
cultural struggle by substituting the relationship between
tradition and modernity with that of subaltern versus hegemonic
parts of the world. Combining theoretical reflections and
re-interpretations of Gramsci, the scholars in this collection
present comparative geo-cultural perspectives on the meaning of the
subaltern, passive revolution, hegemony, the concept of
national-popular culture, in order to chart out a political map of
the postcolonial through the central focus on Gramsci.
