'This is a wonderful collection of new, heterodox engagements with Lefebvre's critical thinking, proposing renewed concrete utopias, radical democracy, and the collective imagination of urban life to confront the multiple challenges of the contemporary world'

Christian Schmid, ETH Zürich, Switzerland

'Henri Lefebvre (1901-1991), though a pioneering figure of French Marxism and radical intellectual discourse, has for long remained curiously under-appreciated relative to some of his contemporaries blessed with fame far beyond Paris. Against this backdrop, Henri Lefebvre: Space, Philosophy and the Political offers an impressive contribution to a series of studies devoted to Lefebvre's oeuvre over the last two decades. This judiciously edited volume not only reveals the incomparable originality of Lefebvre as a philosopher--especially in novel conceptions of everyday life, space and state--but also underlines the enduring relevance of his theoretical innovations to contemporary imaginaries of revolutionary praxis.'
