The Postcolonial Gramsci - Taylor & Francis Ltd

The Importance Of Antonio Gramscis Work For Postcolonial Studies Can Hardly Be Exaggerated, And In This Volume, Contributors Situate Gramscis Work In The Vast And Complex Oeuvre Of Postcolonial Studies. Specifically, This Book Endeavors To Reassess The Impact On Postcolonial Studies Of The Central Role Assigned By Gramsci To Culture And Literature In The Formation Of A Truly Revolutionary Idea Of The Nationala Notion That Has Profoundly Shaped The Thinking Of Both Frantz Fanon And Edward Said. Gramsci, As Iain Chambers Has Argued, Has Been Instrumental In Helping Scholars Rethink Their Understanding Of Historical, Political, And Cultural Struggle By Substituting The Relationship Between Tradition And Modernity With That Of Subaltern Versus Hegemonic Parts Of The World.
