While Gramsci and Trotsky lived and died in a similar fashion, as revolutionary Marxist leaders and theoreticians, their reception in academia could not be more different. Gramsci has become tremendously popular, becoming a central figure in many disciplines, while Trotsky remains largely ignored. Saccarelli argues that not only is Gramsci popular for the wrong reasons--being routinely distorted and depoliticized--even when rescued from his contemporary users, Gramsci remains inadequate. Conversely, the fact that Trotsky remains beyond the pale of theory is a terrible indictment of the current state of academic thinking. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter One: Introduction: Enter Stage Left, Gramsci and Trotsky \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I: The Mummy, the Professor, and the Cannibal: The Contemporary Uses and the Marxist Reclamation of Antonio Gramsci\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Two: Out of the Wrappings: Gramsciology and the Embalming of Political Theory \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Three: A Man of Modest Appetite: Gramsci and Political Cannibalism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart II: The Fortune-Teller and the High-Wire Act: Leon Trotsky, Stalinism, and Political Theory\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Four: Telling Fortunes to the Doomed: Trotsky from Clairvoyance to Theory \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Five: The Balance of Criticism: Trotsky’s High-Wire Act \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Six: Conclusion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotes \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49402161365335,"sku":"9780415961097","price":133.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/gramsci-and-trotsky-in-the-shadow-of-stalinism-9780415961097","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
