This unique collection is the first to bring attention to
Antonio Gramsci’s work within geographical debates.
Presenting a substantially different reading to Gramsci
scholarship, the collection forges a new approach within human
geography, environmental studies and development theory.
* Offers the first sustained attempt to foreground Antonio
Gramsci’s work within geographical debates
* Demonstrates how Gramsci articulates a rich spatial sensibility
whilst developing a distinctive approach to geographical
questions
* Presents a substantially different reading of Gramsci from
dominant post-Marxist perspectives, as well as more recent
anarchist and post-anarchist critiques
* Builds on the emergence of Gramsci scholarship in recent years,
taking this forward through studies across multiple continents, and
asking how his writings might engage with and animate political
movements today
* Forges a new approach within human geography, environmental
studies and development theory, building on Gramsci’s
innovative philosophy of praxis
