	Kenneth T. Jackson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jackson was born in Memphis, Tennessee, earning his B.A. in 1961 at the University of Memphis and his Ph.D. in 1966 at the University of Chicago.
		Jackson's achievements as an author include The Ku Klux Klan in the City, 1915-1930 (1961), Cities in American History (1972), Crabgrass Frontier: The Suburbanization of the United States (1985), and The Encyclopedia of New York City (1995) for which he served as the primary editor.

	Jackson: Crabgrass Frontier (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Jackson ties this idea of a "conditioned behavior" to the rise of the suburbs through instances such as the improvements in the public transportation system.
		Jackson believes that this process, which he calls the "suburbanization of America," brought about a weakened sense of community for residents of the inner city.
		To quote Jackson, "it is fear of those with a different skin color that has driven many people to seek the suburban sanctuary." Crabgrass Frontier presents both urban and suburban landscapes through the evolution and the impact that societal changes had on the landscapes.

	Journal of San Diego History
		Professor Jackson defines the suburb as " both a planning type and a state of mind based on imagery and symbolism." The suburb, argues Jackson, is a community of detached dwellings in a rural setting that encompasses the hopes and aspirations of the white middle class seeking refuge from the constantly changing urban-industrial cityscape.
		Jackson notes that this was true in colonial society where, ironically, urban fls were forced to flee to the suburbs to escape white hostility.
		Jackson charges that not only did the federal programs hasten the decay of the inner city but that they also hastened the racial division that now exists between the city and the suburb.

	First Measured Century: Interview: Kenneth T. Jackson
		Kenneth T. Jackson is a Professor of History at Columbia University.
		KENNETH T. Well, with all the criticisms of suburbanization I still think that at the end of the day we have to count the building of so many homes after World War II as an American success story.
		KENNETH T. I think what we really see when we look at the United States in the immediate postwar period is a nation that is just incomparably richer than other places.

		Jackson's sister, who tagged along last year, likened the experience of seeing her brother at the front of the mass of people to her childhood memory of seeing Elvis Presley at a movie theater in Memphis with the crowd sitting behind him in awe.
		Jackson points to a foot-high stack of folders and papers in a corner of his office, notes, suggestions and reminders for a possible second edition that may be published in the next few years.
		Jackson admits to occasionally working through the night and sacking out for a few hours on the fl leather couch in his office ("I'm getting too old for that; it's not so good for your neck," he says), but he brushes aside the theory that he's a workaholic.

		Kenneth T. Jackson's Crabgrass Frontier, or How did America become Suburbanized?
		Ever since escaping, 13 years ago, from the suburban hell of Deer Park, Texas, the home of Urban Cowboy and the Houston Ship Channel, I've known two things for damn sure: first, I loathe suburbia with a pure and righteous hatred and, second, I'll never live there again.
