Book Synopsis
Guido Liguoriâs book Nuovi sentieri gramsciani is at the cutting edge of Gramscian scholarship. Now available in English, this generous book offers a plenitude: biographical, philological, and interpretative advancements in Antonio Gramsciâs political thought to provide new perspectives on key moments in his life and thought.
Grounded in a deep and attentive reading of Gramsciâs works focusing on his pre-prison years, Liguori historically reconstructs and contextualises Gramsciâs ideas within the broader political, social, ideological, and philosophical landscape of his time. This includes Gramsciâs engagement with the Russian Revolution, the âœRed Bienniumâ 1919-1920, the foundation of the Communist Party in Italy, his stay in Moscow in the years of the New Economic Policy and his meeting with Lenin; and some of the main aspects of his elaboration (the âœSouthern Questionâ in Italy, the interpretation of Machiavelli, and the theme of autonomy of politics within Marxist theory, the concept of âsubalternâ).
Guido Liguoriâs writing style is both accessible and rigorous making New Gramscian Paths suitable not only for specialists but also for a broader audience interested in Gramsci.
