Abstract

Discusses Wayne Wiegand's article that criticizes library and information science and its role in relations of power and knowledge, and suggests that the work of Antonio Gramsci can help understand how libraries and users are conditioned by history and politics. Considers Gramsci's Marxism; historical subjects and hegemony; and political strategy. (Author/LRW)
