4.0 out of 5 stars Gramsci, Difficult, but worthy of Study, October 25, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Prison Notebooks, Volume 1 (Hardcover)
Beware! These writings are the fruits of a genius. That being said, they are virtually impossible to understand. They are not cohesive in any sense of the word an offer no linear insight to tell the reader a story. They do however offer a great deal of insight into Gramsci's thoughts about virtually every topic--from people he met, the thinkers of his days, plays and poetry to the heart of his thoughts, politics. His work on hegemony, whenever it appears is brilliant and should be given apt time to study. This is not for the casual reader. You need to have some background with his thought and the period in which he was writing. For those serious scholars, this is a must have. Otherwise, I would recommend reading the collected works. In the edited volumes you have a more cohesive story presented. You do not get this here.
