About the Book: Further Selections from the Prison Notebooks
This volume brings together Gramscis writings on religion, education, science,
philosophy, and economic theory. The theme that links these writings is the
investigation of ideology at its different levels, and the structures that
embody and reproduce it. Concepts such as subalternity and corporate
consciousness, hegemony and the building of a counter-hegemony, thus recur
throughout the book. Further Selections from the Prison Notebooks is an
important addition to the corpus of work available to English-speaking scholars
of Gramsci. It will be useful to a wide audience of both scholars and public
intellectuals, including historians, philosophers, political scientists,
literary theorists, and critics.
