Who was Antonio Gramsci?
Antonio Gramsci was an Italian Marxist philosopher, journalist and politician, a founder and for a time the leader of the Italian Communist Party. A vocal critic of Mussolini and fascism, he was jailed in 1926 and stayed in prison until shortly before his death in 1937.
In prison he filled more than 30 notebooks on Italian history, fascism, Fordism, civil society, the state, religion and culture. The Prison Notebooks are best known for the theory of cultural hegemony: the ruling class keeps power less by force than through ideology and cultural institutions. He broke with the economic determinism of orthodox Marxism and read it as a philosophy of praxis, which is why he is sometimes called a neo-Marxist.
