This is a concise introduction to the life and work of the Italian
militant and political thinker, Antonio Gramsci. As head of the
Italian Communist Party in the 1920s, Gramsci was arrested and
condemned to 20 years' imprisonment by Mussolini's fascist regime.
It was during this imprisonment that Gramsci wrote his famous
Prison Notebooks - over 2,000 pages of profound and influential
reflections on history, culture, politics, philosophy and
revolution. An Introduction to Antonio Gramsci retraces the
trajectory of Gramsci's life, before examining his conceptions of
culture, politics and philosophy. Gramsci's writings are then
interpreted through the lens of his most famous concept, that of
'hegemony'; Gramsci's thought is then extended and applied to
'think through' contemporary problems to illustrate his distinctive
historical methodology. The book concludes with a valuable
examination of Gramsci's legacy today and useful tips for further
reading. George Hoare and Nathan Sperber make Gramsci accessible
for students of history, politics and philosophy keen to understand
this seminal figure in 20th-century intellectual history.
