His innovative work on history, society, power, and the state has influenced several generations of readers and political activists, and even shaped important developments in postcolonial thought. But Gramsci's thinking is scattered across the thousands of notebook pages he wrote while he was imprisoned by Italy's fascist government from 1926 until shortly before his death. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e To guide readers through Gramsci's life and works, historian Jean-Yves Fr tign  offers \u003ci\u003eTo Live Is to Resist\u003c\/i\u003e, an accessible, compelling, and deeply researched portrait of an extraordinary figure. Throughout the book, Fr tign  emphasizes Gramsci's quiet heroism and his unwavering commitment to political practice and resistance. Most powerfully, he shows how Gramsci never surrendered, even in conditions that stripped him of all power--except, of course, the power to think. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJean-Yves Frétigné\u003c\/b\u003e is \u003ci\u003emaître de conférences\u003c\/i\u003e in the Department of History at the University of Rouen in Normandy, France.
