As the culmination of Lefebvre's interwar activities, the book highlights the tension-fraught relationship between Lefebvre and the French Communist Party (PCF). For Lefebvre, unlike for the PCF, Marxism was above all a dynamic movement of theory and practice. \u003ci\u003eDialectical Materialism\u003c\/i\u003e is an implicit response to Joseph Stalin's \u003ci\u003eDialectical and Historical Materialism\u003c\/i\u003e and an attempt to show that the Stalinist understanding of the concept was dogmatic and oversimplified. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This edition contains a new introduction by Stefan Kipfer, explaining the book's contemporary ramifications in the ever-expanding reach of the urban in the twentieth-century Western world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henri Lefebvre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816656185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816656189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.70h x 4.90w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2009 pg. 2","brand":"Henri Lefebvre","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990400368895,"sku":"9780816656189","price":21.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f1bb8fdc-aea7-4f60-b9c9-7973ceaca338.jpg?v=1683304459","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dialectical-materialism-henri-lefebvre-9780816656189","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
