From references in the Notebooks and in Gramsci's letters from prison it is possible to obtain some indication.

this is a very pleasant book. it helps a lot if you read it while writing job applications. of course it also makes you want to go to prison but let's stop here.

What's strange about Gramsci is the way he works within a very Marxist-theory framework (discussion of whether or not Americanism can constitute a historical epoch, for instance) but whole huge sections of work draw conclusions about the nature of fascism and Italian history are by no means explicitly Marxist. I suppose that's what's so appealing about all the more liberatory, less orthodox, less deterministic Marxist thinkers.

I decided to read this book in order to presenting a simple essay for 'Critical Theory' subject at my university. Gramsci was a Neo-Marxist, he writes all the essay when he was at prison. In the beginning of chapter you will see Gramsci's brief biography. The translator nicely tells us the history and background of Gramsci's writing.

Gramsci's notebooks are wide-ranging and not the easiest to read. I found the rambling nature of the notes hard to boil down to a general idea. So while I was reading these notes I made use of youtube to get what the important takeaway from Gramsci exactly is. The major thing to look for is his idea of cultural hegemony and counter hegemonies. A lot of our ideas we hold while we do our day to day stuff we just hold because someone usual quite a few people told us they are true or common sense. T..more

There's so much in Gramsci's Prison Notebooks. Italian history, practical Marxism, a 1920's Italian perspective on American business. How could you not want to read it?
Gramsci's writings cover a wide ground. He interprets Machiavelli in a modern context, describing political parties as 'the modern Prince' and explores the opportunities consequences that follow. He muses about America's capitalistic spirit, its connection to Taylorism, and if Ford's invasive approach to managing personal morality..more

Gramsci was one of the most important, original and influential marxist writers of the 20th Century. He wrote extensively on the role of intellectuals, on education, history, politics, culture, the modern state and philosophy. The Prison Notebooks was written between 1929 and 1935, when Gramsci was a prisoner of the Italian fascist state under Mussolini. He developed the concept of 'hegemony', arguing that the ruling class sustained its control of society and the state through hegemonic dominati..more

The sense of achievement after finishing this is similar to that of finishing Capital..it is massive and, given its fractured nature, I'd say even more challenging. Gramsci is so often referenced, however, I took many of his ideas rather for granted. After reading him for myself, I'd say there is more of interest here, and more that I find problematic than I'd ever expected..and is definitely a book to think over and pick up again.

This is another of those classics of Marxist thought that I'd never got around to reading, though I was acquainted with ideas and passages from it in other sources, much like Marx's Capital. Having finally studied all three volumes of that over the past couple of years (with the help of David Harvey's video lectures), I decided I needed to tackle Gramsci next. It was definitely worth the time and effort. I was acquainted with certain Gramscian concepts through secondary sources, such as 'cultura..more
Although not a Marxist, I found this to be a masterpiece. The work itself are notes collected from the authors time in prison under Mussolini. So many topics are covered outside of the economy and revolution. There are a variety of interesting theories and the author subjects even points of view close to him to criticism. He raises many issues and identifies various problems with strands of philosophy. There is some Marxist dogma and some of his views do suffer from a materialist rigidity but th..more

I read all three volumes and I don't regret a single second I spent reading Gramsci. This edition promised to be one of the best foreign language versions of the Notebooks (in addition to Italian, complete translations are available in French, German, Spanish). It's a pity it ground to a halt after Notebook 8.
Italian marxist, predecessor to cultural studies. An invaluable conceptualization of hegemony. One of my favorite quotes of all time - we have to create an inventory of all the traces historical processes have left upon us in order to begin critical elaboration to understand ourselves and the world
Reading this today for my orals exam. Not understanding it at all and don't have the energy to try harder. I think I'm just going to hope that no one asks me questions about this one..

The Italian fascist regime wanted to shut down Gramsci's brain when they imprisoned him. They failed.

Gramsci was an orthodox revolutionary historical materialist. People act like he is some post-marxist because he emphasized the dialectical nature of historical materialism. It may appear to the decontextualized that this is post-marxism as a result of it emerging on the intellectual scene amidst the ubiquity of Althusser's structural(and therefore determinist) Marxism, but this is not the case. Gramsci is one of the best authors when it comes to examining the nature of a material(and consequent..more
These took me a long time to read and were labor intensive to read but were well worth the effort. They are very smart texts with very important ideas such as his view that revolution failed because it did not include the exploited classes. Gramsci deals with people's drive for power and imposing various paradigms on society and the impact of these attempts,etc. Definitely an interesting, worthwhile read.
I mean, it's Gramsci.
Which means there's a lot of stuff that feels dated and it's a slog to get through but at the end you feel smarter and better prepared for struggle.
Do wonder why we don't have a more updated Selections, but..
