About this book
Reviews
'This volume could have been subtitled 'Resolving the Gramsci Paradox.' How is it that a political activist and thinker so deeply concerned with the specific crises of his turbulent times has remained such a fertile source of ideas and insights for theorists and critics addressing the most pressing social, political and cultural issues of the twenty-first century? The essays in this volume are distinctive for simultaneously bringing Gramsci's continuing relevance into bold relief while greatly enriching our understanding of the theoretical core of his perdurable writings.'
Professor Joseph Buttigieg, University of Notre Dame, USA
'In this most welcome book - a well-timed response to the crisis of neo-liberal hegemony - Gramsci's legacy is inventoried through accurate scholarship and creatively revived with deep political commitment. A brilliant challenge to the trivialization of revolutionary thought and an invitation to critically rethink the history of Marxism beyond slogans.'
Dr Fabio Frosini, Università di Urbino, Italy
'This wide-ranging, coherent and critically engaged collection on the interwoven nature of Gramsci's theoretical and political life as a revolutionary provides exciting and provocative insights into many aspects of Gramsci's work, undermining taken-for-granted readings and showing that he is a thinker situated in his times with an ever-present contemporary relevance.'
Professor Bob Jessop, University of Lancaster, UK
