Description

Henri Lefebvre is now recognised as one of the most influential social theorists of the 20th century. In English, his writings on cities, everyday life, and the production of space have become hugely influential across cultural studies, sociology, geography and architecture. This title presents the full range of Lefebvre's thought. The selection reinforces the centrality of Lefebvre to current debates in social and spatial theory but also sets Lefebvre's work in the context of his broader philosophical and political concerns.The extracts are divided into sections, each separately introduced by the editors. Nearly all the extracts presented here are new translations and most have never appeared in English before.
