<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A major essay on the thought of the great Italian Marxist</b> <p/>Perry Anderson's essay "The Antinomies of Antonio Gramsci," first published in <i>New Left Review</i> in 1976, was an explosive analysis of the central strategic concepts in the thought of the great Italian Marxist. Since then it has been the subject of book-length attacks across four decades for its disentangling of the hesitations and contradictions in Gramsci's highly original usage of such key dichotomies as East and West, domination and direction, hegemony and dictatorship, state and civil society, and war of position and war of movement. <p/> In a critical tribute to the international richness of Gramsci's work, the essay shows how deeply embedded these notions were in the revolutionary debates in Tsarist Russia and Wilhelmine Germany. Here arguments crisscrossed between Plekhanov, Lenin, Kautsky, Luxemburg, Lukács and Trotsky, with later echoes in Brecht and Benjamin. <p/> A new preface considers the objections the essay provoked and the reasons for them. This edition also includes the first English translation of Athos Lisa's report on Gramsci's lectures in prison.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Perry Anderson</b> is the author of, among other books, <i>American Foreign Policy and Its Thinkers</i>, <i>The Indian Ideology</i>, <i>The New Old World</i>, <i>Spectrum</i>, <i>Lineages of the Absolutist State</i>, <i>Passages from Antiquity to Feudalism</i>, <i>Considerations on Western Marxism</i>, <i>English Questions</i> and <i>The Origins of Postmodernity</i>.
