"Peter Mayo has written a book that will appeal to both experts on Gramsci and those newly interested in his work and education. Gramscian scholar Joseph Buttigieg (2015), writes in his preface that Mayo’s book provides a “rich elaboration of … [Gramsci’s] early views on education as the acquisition of critical awareness and as the sine qua non in any effective political struggle for equality within a democratic society” (p.xii). For those new to Gramsci, the book offers pointed discussions on Gramsci’s life, thought, and legacy regarding education. To those familiar with Gramsci’s work, the book offers a well-written account his work on education and schooling and applies a Gramscian approach to contemporary issues. Thus, the book offers a basis for those wanting to engage with Gramsci’s concepts and methods as tools to make sense of the impact of neoliberalism on education and the world."Sheila Macrine, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, Antipode: A Radical Journal of Georgraphy'Overall, this book has been helpful in deepening our understanding of activism in adult education, particularly in relation to the ways education can be used in contesting hegemonic systems and structures. The purpose was to underscore counterhegemonic work as valuable in adult education.'Mervin E. Chisholm, The University of the West Indies, Mona Campus, Kingston, Jamaica, Adult Education Quarterly
