Gray almost summed it up when he wrote, [N]or should behavior that apparently corresponds to dominant ideology be read at face value as a direct product of ruling class influence.[20] Here he was arguing that dominant culture was often imparted in indirect ways, not through intentionality of the ruling class or programs of social control. Historians have developed potential solutions. These structures of control by the state are adopted and reproduced from the base of the familiar, through arrangements and dispositions that pose themselves as natural, as they are embodied and programmed in the play of language, in common sense, and in all what is socially taken for granted.

For instance, as Lears wrote, [O]ne way to falsify the hypothesis of hegemony is to demonstrate the existence of genuinely pluralistic debate; one way to substantiate it is to discover what was left out of public debate and to account historically for those silences.[23] If there was public discussion of a wide range of ideas, many running counter to the interests of dominant groups, the case for hegemony is weaker; if public discussion centered around a narrow slate of ideas that served obvious interests, the case is stronger. 4 Gramsci, Antonio, The Prison Notebooks (London, 1982)Google Scholar.
