How the Other Half Lives- Studies Among the Tenements of New York
In How the Other Half Lives Studies Among the Tenements of New York (1890), Jacob Riis delivers a groundbreaking exploration of the harsh realities faced by the impoverished populations of New York City during the 1880s. This seminal work of photojournalism not only reveals the dire living conditions in the slums but also serves as a catalyst for social reform, bringing the plight of the urban poor to the attention of the city‚s affluent classes. The title draws inspiration from Franßois Rabelais, who noted, one half of the world does not know how the other half lives. (Summary by Wikipedia)
