Lou (G),

    I hope in your report on Gramsci you devote at least a few lines
to a question I have occasionally had but never followed up on. We
know that in the Prison Notebooks *some* of the terms used are merely
euphemisms for his jailers' eyes (I think, if I remember correctly,
that he used "philosophy of history" merely as a subterfuge for
"Marxism.") The question I have is whether "hegemony," seemingly
Gramsci's most significant influence, had similar roots, or whether
he would have used it anyhow, censorship or no censorship?

    Carrol
