In The Revolutionary Marxism of Antonio Gramsci, Frank Rosengarten explores Gramsci's writings in areas as diverse as Marxist theory, the responsibilities of political leadership and the theory and practice of literary criticism. He also discusses Gramsci's influence on the post-colonial world. Through close readings of texts ranging from Gramsci's socialist journalism in the Turin years to his prison letters and famous Notebooks (1948), Rosengarten captures the full vitality of Antonio Gramsci's thought and outlook on life.
Rosengarten’s detailed study on Gramsci avoids covering old ground by not only showing what Gramsci is famous for, but by also highlighting the reasons, struggles (personally and collectively) as well as the life experiences behind the man who gave us the highly instructive concept of ideological hegemony.”
Thomas Klikauer, Capital and Class
"Frank Rosengarten’s posthumously published essays represent an emphatic vindication of the value of Gramsci's philosophy of praxis, both to unearthing new light on historical processes and to facilitating a re-orientation of the revolutionary project of the left in the 21st century. This collection represents one of most fruitful additions to Gramsciana since the publication of Peter Thomas' The Gramscian Moment in 2009."
Sean Ledwith, Marx and Philosophy Review of Books
“Rosengarten’s explicit purpose in this volume is to restore Gramsci to his rightful place in the revolutionary milieu of the Third International of the 1920s with its unwavering commitment to the necessity of a coercive toppling of the capitalist state.” –Marx & Philosophy Review of Books
