Gramsci Explained — Why Culture Matters More Than Force
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.
This Mini Explainer introduces Antonio Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks, focusing on how power is maintained through culture, institutions, and consent rather than through violence alone.
By examining concepts like cultural hegemony, intellectual leadership, and the war of position, Gramsci reveals why political change depends on reshaping ideas, norms, and common sense long before laws or governments change.
