On the Rural
2022
Overview
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 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.
