In private life, such behaviour would warrant a good kicking. In the case of the State, it appears to be a “merit” \u003c\/em\u003e(1933).\u003cbr\u003e Antonio Gramsci (1891–1937)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEven today, our States and their actors tell the same story. This explains the continued appeal of Antonio Gramsci’s \u003cem\u003ePrison Notebooks\u003c\/em\u003e for our cultural theorists and political commentators, including Raymond Williams, Stuart Hall, Edward Said, and Terry Eagleton, and the \u003cem\u003eNew Left Review\u003c\/em\u003e contributors.

The introductory essay places the \u003cem\u003eNotebooks\u003c\/em\u003e in their socio-historical background. The considerable range of their address and focus will inspire and challenge students who have only had limited access to Gramscian terminology, such as hegemony, national-popular, subaltern, war of position, organic intellectual, etc.  \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is a precious resource for scholars and students from a wide range of disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, political science, history, geography, education, cultural studies and literary studies. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orient Blackswan Pvt Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45616477339799,"sku":"9788194829508","price":753.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788194829508.webp?v=1769294894","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/selections-from-the-prison-notebooks-9788194829508","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
