Antonio Gramsci and Igiaba Scego. For a Postcolonial Education through Literature

This article investigates the pedagogical potential of literature, specifically contemporary postcolonial literature, from a Gramscian perspective. Starting from the observation that Antonio Gramsci has been a major influence in Anglophone postcolonial theory, it aims to translate his thoughts to the context of contemporary Italian postcolonial literature.
