The issues [he] raises are fundamental and profound. His book is utopian in the best sense-it tries to define a radically different future and to show that it could be constructed from the materials at hand. -Kenneth Keniston, New York Times Book Review The distinguished social critic Richard Sennett here shows how the excessively ordered community freezes adults-both the young idealists and their security-oriented parents-into rigid attitudes that stifle personal growth. He argues that the accepted ideal of order generates patterns of behavior among the urban middle classes that are stultifying, narrow, and violence-prone. And he proposes a functioning city that can incorporate anarchy, diversity, and creative disorder to bring into being adults who can openly respond to and deal with the challenges of life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51855884255520,"sku":"NEW0393309096","price":23.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61cMFPDQmiL.jpg?v=1781543145","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-uses-of-disorder-personal-identity-and-city-life-0393309096","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
