Dr. Maniscalco honored by the Office of the New York City Public Advocate
New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams recently dispatched former CUNY intern, Jibreel Jalloh, to personally hand Tony a proclamation for his years of work in civic education and student development. The citywide proclamation recognized Dr. Maniscalco for his legacy and a diverse portfolio of experiential learning programs serving historically marginalized students, as well as Tony’s writing and advocacy for accessible public space, free expression, and popular participation in the political sphere.

New Review of Public Spaces, Marketplaces, and the Constitution by third party expert, J.D. Gillespie:
“Assembly and speech are as foundational to civil society as religion, press, and petition, the other freedoms with which they are codified in the First Amendment. In this well-executed work, Maniscalco (CUNY) traces the provision and discursive significance of public spaces and the provision of private spaces for public use, from the agora (the marketplace for commerce and the free exchange of ideas in democratic Athens) through the urban commons and public places of Colonial and post-Colonial America, to circumstances and conditions in the US today. Privatization and, through judicial fiat and architectural design, the exclusion of non-commercial public activity from private spaces have been distinguishing features of the nation’s history for over 150 years. Suburbanization of life, the rise of shopping malls, and, recently, the move from enclosed malls to open retail centers have all made the situation more acute. New media technologies notwithstanding, the rise of the Tea Party and Occupy movements attests to the continuing requisite of space for democratic practice. Maniscalco calls for the recognition of these facts and a transformation of values by judges, scholars, practitioners, and the public with respect to civic spaces.”
— J. D. Gillespie, College of Charleston

Public Spaces, Marketplaces, and the Constitution reviewed by Professor Frances Fox Piven:
“Maniscalco shows us how court decisions restricting speech rights in privately owned shopping malls are depriving us of the ancient functions of the market as a vibrant center of civic life. An original and illuminating book.”
