Gramsci And Languages: Unification, Diversity, Hegemony

Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937) is one of the most-translated Italian authors of all time. After WWII, his thought became influential and remained relevant for decades. Today it is generally agreed that his Marxism has highly original and personal features, as confirmed by the fact that his international influence has continued to grow since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Gramsci and Language offers an explanation of this originality and traces the origins of certain features of Gramsci's political thought by looking at his interest in language.
