Gramsci, Culture and Anthropology by Kate Crehan
In the last twenty years Antonio Gramsci has become a major presence in British and American anthropology, especially for anthropologists working on issues of culture and power. This book explores Gramsci's understanding of culture and the links between culture and power. Kate Crehan makes extensive use of Gramsci's own writings, including his preprison journalism and prison letters as well as the prison notebooks. Gramsci, Culture and Anthropology also provides an account of the intellectual and political contexts within which he was writing. Crehan examines the challenge that Gramsci's approach poses to common anthropological assumptions about the nature of "culture" as well as the potential usefulness of Gramsci's writings for contemporary anthropologists.
Kate Crehan is Professor Emerita, College of Staten Island and the Graduate Center, City University of New York, and the author of Community Art: An Anthropological Perspective and Gramsci, Culture, and Anthropology.
