For the inaugural post of my new blog, Tenants + Movements, I wrote the first of a series of pieces about Antonio Gramsci's *Prison Notebooks*, about which I'm what embarrassed to be blogging. (& yes if you want email updates you can subscribe) https://jfprk.wordpress.com/2022/12/26/gramsci-and-me/

As titled, it's an autobiographical post about coming around, after years of flirtation and occasional disinterest, to finding use for the Italian communist's quaderni del carcere, tho not particularly on the same terms as other adherents (I'm an anarchist, dammit!).

Future Gramsci topics may include: hegemony & the Comintern, the critique of political science; Benedetto Croce; Stuart Hall's Gramsci; Gramsci, Freire and popular education. Gramsci posts will drop interspersed among those more on Tenants + Movements theme. Stay tuned!
