Space Difference, Everyday Life Henri Lefebvre and Radical Politics

In the past fifteen years, Henri Lefebvre's reputation has catapulted into the stratosphere, and he is now consideredan equal to some of the greats of European social theory (Bourdieu, Deleuze, Harvey). In particular, his work has revitalized urban studies, geography and planning via concepts like; the social production of space, the right to the city, everyday life, and global urbanization. Lefebvre's massive body of work has generated two main schools of thought: one that is political economic, and another that is more culturally oriented and poststructuralist in tone. Space, Difference, and Everyday Life merges these two schools of thought into aunified Lefebvrian approach to contemporary urban issues andthe nature of our spatialized social structures.Goonewardena, Kanishka is the author of 'Space Difference, Everyday Life Henri Lefebvre and Radical Politics', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415954600 and ISBN 0415954606.
