Beskrivning
A collection of previously untranslated writings by Henri Lefebvre on rural sociology, situating his research in relation to wider Marxist workOn the Rural is the first English collection to translate Lefebvre’s crucial but lesser-known writings on rural sociology and political economy, presenting a wide-ranging approach to understanding the historical and rural sociology of precapitalist social forms, their endurance today, and conditions of dispossession and uneven development.  In On the Rural, Stuart Elden and Adam David Morton present Lefebvre’s key works on rural questions, including the first half of his book Du rural À l’urbain and supplementary texts, two of which are largely unknown conference presentations published outside France. On the Rural offers methodological orientations for addressing questions of economy, sociology, and geography by deploying insights from spatial political economy to decipher the rural as a terrain and stake of capitalist transformation. By doing so, it reveals the production of the rural as a key site of capitalist development and as a space of struggle. This volume delivers a careful translation-supplemented with extensive notes and a substantive introduction-to cement Lefebvre’s central contribution to the political economy of rural sociology and geography.

Recensioner i media

"On the Rural is a remarkable collection. Lefebvre wrote as a historian, a sociologist, a geographer, a political-economist, and a philosopher. This makes for challenging reading at times but there are also brilliant passages that will goad readers on to the next page. "-Cleveland Review of Books   "On the Rural provides anglophone readers with a more nuanced Henri Lefebvre who has a richer and wider intellectual history than that of the misrepresentation of seeing him as an urban theorist."-Agricultural History Review   "[On the Rural] is essential reading for anyone interested in rural sociology, geography, and political economy. It provides a critical analysis of the rural question and offers valuable insights for both academic and policy discussions."-Acta Sociologica
