Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
What the future fortunes of [Gramscis] writings will be, we cannot know. However, his permanence is already sufficiently sure, and justifies the historical study of his international reception. The present collection of studies is an indispensable foundation for this. Eric Hobsbawm, from the prefaceAntonio Gramsci is a giant of Marxian thought and one of the worlds greatest cultural critics. Antonio A. Santucci is perhaps the worlds preeminent Gramsci scholar. Monthly Review Press is proud to publish, for the first time in English, Santuccis masterful intellectual biography of the great Sardinian scholar and revolutionary.Gramscian terms such as civil society and hegemony are much used in everyday political discourse. Santucci warns us, however, that these words have been appropriated by both radicals and conservatives for contemporary and often selfserving ends that often have nothing to do with Gramscis purposes in developing them. Rather what we must do, and what Santucci illustrates time and again in his dissection of Gramscis writings, is absorb Gramscis methods. These can be summed up as the suspicion of grand explanatory schemes, the unity of theory and practice, and a focus on the details of everyday life. With respect to the last of these, Joseph Buttigieg says in his Nota: Gramsci did not set out to explain historical reality armed with some fullfledged concept, such as hegemony; rather, he examined the minutiae of concrete social, economic, cultural, and political relations as they are lived in by individuals in their specific historical circumstances and, gradually, he acquired an increasingly complex understanding of how hegemony operates in many diverse ways and under many aspects within the capillaries of society.The rigor of Santuccis examination of Gramscis life and work matches that of the seminal thought of the master himself. Readers will be enlightened and inspired by every page.
