Gramsci biography
Gramsci theory of hegemony summary!
by Frank Rosengarten
Antonio Gramsci was born on January 22, in Ales in the province of Cagliari in Sardinia. He was the fourth of seven children born to Francesco Gramsci and Giuseppina Marcias.
His relationship with his father was never very close, but he had a strong affection and love for his mother, whose resilience, gift for story-telling and pungent humor made a lasting impression on him. Of his six siblings, Antonio enjoyed a mutual interest in literature with his younger sister Teresina, and seems to have always felt a spiritual kinship with his two brothers, Gennaro, the oldest of the Gramsci children, and Carlo, the youngest.
Gennaro&#;s early embrace of socialism contributed significantly to Antonio&#;s political development.
