Henri Lefebvre's previously untranslated writings on rural sociology are collected in On the Rural, which provides insights into precapitalist social forms, their endurance, and conditions of dispossession and uneven development.

On the Rural is a groundbreaking English collection that translates Henri Lefebvre's essential but lesser-known writings on rural sociology and political economy. It provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the historical and rural sociology of precapitalist social forms, their persistence in the present, and the conditions of dispossession and uneven development.
The book is organized into two parts. The first half includes the first half of Lefebvre's book Du rural à lurbain, along with two previously unpublished conference presentations. These texts offer valuable insights into Lefebvre's thoughts on rural society and its transformation under capitalism.
The second part of the book provides methodological orientations for analyzing questions of economy, sociology, and geography through the lens of spatial political economy. By deploying these insights, the book reveals the production of the rural as a key site of capitalist development and a space of struggle.
The volume is meticulously translated, accompanied by extensive notes and a substantive introduction. It serves as a valuable contribution to the political economy of rural sociology and geography, solidifying Lefebvre's central place in this field.
Overall, On the Rural is a must-read for scholars and researchers interested in rural studies, sociology, and political economy. It offers a rich and nuanced understanding of the complex dynamics of rural society and its relationship with capitalism.
