Antonio Gramsci -- Let this be the first of many Cool Island posts praising and revering the revolutionary ideas of Sir Gramsci. For Gramsci, the one, the only, Antonio Gramsci, is precisely the reason why the Cool Island blog inhabits this sacred cyberspace. His thoughts and exaltations have inspired my comrade and myself to begin documenting the THINKERs and snippets of their thoughts.
To Begin -- Opening thoughts on Gramsci: The idea that every man/woman is a philosopher. It implies that yes, the high-horsed academic cannot create revolutionary social change by his/herself. The knowledge produced in and out of the grassroots must be combined with that of the scholar in order to produce a social movement worthy of making progress.
Please refer to Playing with Fire: Feminist Thought and Activism through Seven Lives in India for physical evidence of this theory turned into truth.
