Dr. David M. Peña-Guzmán explores Antonio Gramsci's theory of education as laid out in the section of The Prison Notebooks entitled "On Education." There, Gramsci explains the kind of education that is needed to produce Marxist intellectuals who can meaningfully contribute to the liberation of the dominated classes independently of their own class upbringing. It is through what Gramsci calls "The Common School" that society can produce citizens who do not simply re-produce the very class antagonisms they inherit from the past.
