Selections From the Prison Notebooks
Gramsci, Antonio. International Publishers, 1985 (8th Printing). Softbound. Edited and translated by Quintin Hoare and Geoffrey Nowell Smith. Founded in 1924 by Alexander Trachtenberg with the apparatchik-ready name of International Publishers, the long-lived communist press would go on to publish everything from W. E. B. Du Bois's autobiography to Philip Foner's 11-volume labor history to this collection by Mussolini foe Gramsci, who was first imprisoned two years after IP's founding. Like his fellow Leninist, Trachtenberg found himself a political target at home in the US during the Red Scare, harassed, called before the HUAC, and likewise even jailed.
