“With 25 chapters from various disciplines and from all over the globe, Revisiting Gramsci’s Notebooks provides a mapping of the terrain and a bit of a skeleton key that unlocks much of what Gramsci intended in his work.”
—Michael Deckard, Marx & Philosophy Review of Books
“[This] book contributes to a path whereby revisiting Gramsci’s Notebooks also means returning to the red thread of Gramsci’s thought, while simultaneously developing it through praxis and its interaction with the present.”
