Hegemony, Education and Flight

Abstract

This paper builds on Gramsci' Thinking on the Southern Question both in his eponymous paper and his notes in the Prison Notebooks. It expands on Gramsci's thinking to shed light on the plight of Migrants settling not on the Italian mainland from the islands and Southern provinces in Gramsci's time but from the Mediterranean's Southern shores and elsewhere more generally. It underlines the issues highlighted by Gramsci for present times.
