John Chalcraft: Chalcraft, J: From Subordination to Revolution, Fester Einband

Blurb

"From Subordination to Revolution offers a compelling Gramscian understanding of popular struggle, from resistance to domination via self-organization for autonomy, then alliance-building for consent, and finally a transformative revolutionary bloc. Critical scholars and movement organizers will find powerful ideas here."--Laurence Cox, author of Why Social Movements Matter

"John Chalcraft reveals a Gramsci who is literally everywhere in our twenty-first-century world, lighting up the transformative power of struggles from Brazil to Bangladesh. This indispensable book also gives us a Gramsci for our time when confused multitudes need lucid definition of the phases of popular mobilization if they are to resist authoritarian demagoguery."--Paul Apostolidis, author of The Fight for Time: Migrant Day Laborers and the Politics of Precarity

"This is a masterpiece. From Subordination to Revolution will undoubtedly become the reference book for anyone studying Gramsci and considering his ongoing impact on social activism and mobilization today."--Mark LeVine, author of We'll Play till We Die: Journeys across a Decade of Revolutionary Music in the Muslim World

"From Subordination to Revolution is a dazzling, powerful, and urgent book. It truly succeeds in building a Gramscian 'connective theory' of political mobilizations. Importantly, it shows how to think about and alongside the wide variety of intersecting and transnational political struggles occurring in different parts of the globe through this theoretical framework."--Sumi Madhok, author of Vernacular Rights Cultures: The Politics of Origins, Human Rights and Gendered Struggles for Justice
