This
new edition of A gramsci Reader is a comprehensive selection of Gramsci's
writings in one volume including his most important political, cultural and
historical work. The collection focuses on key concepts - such as hegemony,
passive revolution, civil society, common sense - and important texts such those
on Americanism and Fordism, popular culture, intellectuals, and the Modern
Prince. Essential for all scholars and students of Gramci and modern politics,
it includes a glossary, bibliography and introduction.A quite excellent primer to Gramsci's thought
The Scotsman
This reader is to be welcomed for making Gramsci's work more accessible to a wider audience. By taking advantage of new information about the ordering of texts from the critical Italian edition it provides an up to date introduction to Gramsci's works. But equally important, by giving weight to Americanism and Fordism, its balance reflects recent debates. It should be useful for anyone reading Gramsci.
