Marxism

In a condensed manner Henri Lefebvre provides us an introduction to Marxism. Lefebvre was a Marxist philosopher and sociologist. This introduction is on one hand lucid and on the other attempts to outline the main facets of a complex body of thought developed principally by Karl Marx and his comrade Friedrich Engels which come under the rubric of Marxism. Nearly one hundred and seventy-five years from the development of Marxism, the ideas of Karl Marx continue to stir minds and are a tool often used to understand oppression and fashion resistance to it. In its first ever English translation, Henri Lefebvre’s Marxism will prove to be a precise guide to a complex political ideology and its philosophy.
