Marxist Thought and the City by Henri Lefebvre, Robert Bononno is praised for revitalising Marxist humanism to address urban challenges, balancing between threat and opportunity. The book is recognised for its enduring relevance, offering new insights into urban theory. It is seen as a foundational text for understanding urban spaces as historical modes of production, valuable for both Marxists and those interested in critical social theory's spatial turn.
