Critics Review
“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
