A review by rcthomas
Selections from the Prison Notebooks by Antonio Gramsci

2.0

Gramsci is a bit of a challenge to read, in my opinion. His ideas on the development of proletarian intelligentsia and the role it plays in combating cultural solidification/hegemony inherent in developing and developed capitalist societies. His critique of economic determinism that is often the hallmark of communist societies and their proponents is refreshing. Overall, its a tough yet interesting read, but I wouldn't approach it unless you really want to get heavily into different theories of Marxism.
