ON THE RURAL - HENRI LEFEBVRE TASCHENBUCH

A collection of previously untranslated writings by Henri Lefebvre on rural sociology 
situating his research in relation to wider Marxist work On 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 FR. 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.
