The Prisms of Gramsci
The Political Formula of the United Front
Description
Most scholars assume that Gramsci’s thinking can be clearly periodized, drawing a distinction between his early work and The Prison Notebooks.’ In this important book, Marcos Del Roio instead defends the radical thesis that an examination of the Sardinian Communist’s pre-prison political-theoretical activity reveals a total continuity between his political praxis and his philosophical reflection throughout his life.
