Frank Rosengarten (1927-2014) Ph.D. in Italian, Columbia University, was professor emeritus at Case Western Reserve University and the City University of New York. He edited several volumes of Gramsci's prison letters. Among his other publications are The Writings of the Young Marcel Proust (2001), and Urbane Revolutionary: C.L.R. James and the Struggle for a New Society (2008)
Rosengarten’s detailed study on Gramsci avoids covering old ground
by not only showing what Gramsci is famous for, but by also
highlighting the reasons, struggles (personally and collectively)
as well as the life experiences behind the man who gave us the
highly instructive concept of ideological hegemony.”
Thomas Klikauer, Capital and Class
"Frank Rosengarten’s posthumously published essays represent an
emphatic vindication of the value of Gramsci's philosophy of
praxis, both to unearthing new light on historical processes and to
facilitating a re-orientation of the revolutionary project of the
left in the 21st century. This collection represents one of most
fruitful additions to Gramsciana since the publication of Peter
Thomas' The Gramscian Moment in 2009."
Sean Ledwith, Marx and Philosophy Review of Books
“Rosengarten’s explicit purpose in this volume is to restore
Gramsci to his rightful place in the revolutionary milieu of the
Third International of the 1920s with its unwavering commitment to
the necessity of a coercive toppling of the capitalist state.”
