I have an anthology of Antonio Gramsci's works somewhere that I want to read, but it honestly goes right over my head sometimes, especially his prison writings. Does anybody have an anotated version with explanations and analysis? I would really appreciate it.

I doubt anything like that exists online, but if you google the particular aspect of his ideas that you are struggling with, for example 'Gramsci and Hegemony,' it will bring up articles and essays that have been written explaining his ideas in a more simple way.

Here are some lectures on Gramsci you should go through:

Thanks Asero! I'm vaguely familiar with the post-structuralists as well, but these articles and videos are givong me a better understanding of what Gramsci was talking about.
