Reviews for The Antonio Gramsci Reader: Selected Writings 1916-1935

Very usefully pulls the key passages from Gramsci's writings into one volume, which allows English-language readers an overall view of his work. Particularly valuable are the connections it draws across his work and the insights which the introduction and glossary provide into the origin and development of some key Gramscian concepts. -Stuart Hall,
