Fwd: Peter L. Laurence, "Becoming Jane Jacobs" (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2016) |

[Mark Kohut]

As I said, try Google Boooks: This book, *Becoming Jane Jacobs *contains
the line " as her critics and appreciators called her ideas
'anarchic"......and goes on to elaborate

Life Magazine, June 20, 1969
With her first book, .....'That the good life was to be found in precisely
what they abhorred,: the apparent anarchy in the city street".

Rochdale Village, Robert Moses, 6000 families, and New York--Peter
Eisenstadt 2011
"But Jacobs and Kazan both reflect aspects of what one can call a
quasi-anarchist vision of society"

Court Reporter for Community Board Three---"we have a Ms Jane Jacobs..(to
the tribunal) 'Letting the citizens of a city
'grow' the street layout, architecture, and composition of neighborhoods
from the bottom up is a recipe for anarchy"
--from the time, reprinted 2005

>From A Political Companion to Walt Whitman, John Seery ...2011
from the epilogue: "When I read Jane Jacobs beautiful romance of the
street, The Death and Life of Great American Cities
.....[The street] will still be profoundly Jacobean, but more delicious,
more wild, more disruptive and anarchic in its everyday (and its every
night) life.

Making Another World Possible: Anarchism, anti-Capitalism--Peter Ryley 2013
--has a major excerpt chapter from The Death and Life of Great American
Cities

Urban Visions: Experiencing and Envisioning the City
alluding to Jane Jacobs, .."it was such a vision of the city that Lewis
Mumford tried, without success, to define by much of
his writing in the interwar years".....that Mumford connection

Ramparts mag, 1974......."i'll take jane Jacobs over Marx any day....."No,
this isn't a very grand vision.just a human one....
I opt for creative anarchy."

She is written of in the book Two Cheers for Anarchism by James Scott  2012

The cited Richard Sennet, with his major essay on her work, her vision in
The New York Review of Books and
here is a snippet about him from 1972  "Richard Sennett's vision of the
good anarchic city. A spiritual heir of Jane Jacobs..."
>From The Rand Paper series.

in In Praise of Decadence by Jeff Riggenbach 1998, we get a link to
SDS....."The SDS libertarians had followed the lead of
theorists of a different sort, writers like Paul Goodman and Jance
Jacobs"....writers who had started not with an economic theory, but with a
more broadly social theory, a vision of the fundamental".......

There are scores more, as I wrote, including contemporary textbooks it
seems.
