It launched his exploration of communities and how they live in cities, and outlined his view that order breeds narrow, violence-prone lives, while an 'equilibrium of disorder' brings vigour and diversity to urban life. The New York Times described it as 'the best available contemporary defence of anarchism'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'The Uses of Disorder' followed the student and urban rebellions of the late 1960s. But it remains relevant to the problems of city life sixty years on. In a new preface Sennett considers his own objectives in writing the book and the enduring benefits of a strong and fresh urban experience in the twenty-first century. The body of the text remains unchanged, ready for a new generation of readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard Sennett is professor of social and cultural theory at the London School of Economics, and Bemis Professor of Social Science at MIT.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47891745505431,"sku":"9780300148275","price":3311.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780300148275.webp?v=1781184700","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-uses-of-disorder-personal-identity-and-city-life-9780300148275","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
