Book Hero thinking about your next read

Columbia University Press's multivolume Prison Notebooks is a complete critical edition of the first three volumes of Antonio Gramsci's seminal writings in English.

Until Joseph Buttigieg's meticulous translation and critical attention to Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebooks, this invaluable text, a testimony to the most emancipatory thinking of our time, was available to the leadership in English in only an artificially contrived form. Now Buttigieg's monumental and magesterial work is available in paperback. Scholars, teachers, students, activists, general readers -- rejoice! -- Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak
