Description

Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebooks are a rich and nuanced theorization of class that provides insights into structural inequality. Kate Crehan offers new ways to understand the many forms that inequality can take, including its relationship with race, gender, sexual orientation, and religion. In this book, Crehan introduces the Prison Notebooks and explores Gramsci's notions of subalternity, intellectuals, and common sense, relating them to the work of other thinkers. She examines the complex relationships between experience of inequality, exploitation, and oppression in the case studies of the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street movements. Gramsci's Common Sense provides an accessible introduction to a key Marxist thinker whose works illuminate the increasing inequality of the twenty-first century.
