Based in a holistic exposition and appraisal of Gramsci’s writings that are of relevance to education in neoliberal times, this book rather than simply applying Gramsci's theories to issues in education argues that education constitutes the leitmotif of his entire oeuvre and lies at the heart of his conceptualization of the ancient Greek term hegemony that was used by other political theorists before him.
