Book Reviews of Selections from the Prison Notebooks
Book Review: A Historical Classic with Contemporary Relevance
Summary: 5 Stars
Gramsci's political theory stands as some of the most influential thought in the social sciences, both inside and outside the Marxist school. This edition of The Prison Notebooks has all of his most important work. Furthermore, the editors did an excellent job of informing the reader of the context which Gramsci was writing in, which is imperative for accurate conception of his ideals. The 60 page introduction by the editors does a tremendous job of placing Gramsci's work in the turbulent mess which was post-WWI Italy.
As one can imagine, much of Gramsci's work is outdated, but his work on cultural-hegemony and "common sense" has never dwindled in relevance. Analyzing the forces that create and sustain political consciousness is not only the greatest contribution of Antonio Gramsci, but his analysis has much to tell the contemporary reader trying to understand why individuals act as they do in current political order.
