How the Other Half Lives
Studies Among the Tenements of New York
In this is the classic indictment of slum life, written by one of the most famous reformers of the nineteenth century. How the Other Half Lives: Studies Among the Tenements of New York explained not only the living conditions in New York slums, but also in the sweatshops in some tenements which paid workers only a few cents a day.

Über den Autor
Jacob August Riis (1849 - 1914) was a Danish-American social reformer, muckraking journalist and social documentary photographer. He is known for using his photographic and journalistic talents to help the impoverished in New York City; those impoverished New Yorkers were the subject of most of his prolific writings and photography. He endorsed the implementation of model tenements in New York with the help of humanitarian Lawrence Veiller. Additionally, as one of the most famous proponents of the newly practicable casual photography, he is considered one of the fathers of photography due to his very early adoption of flash in photography. While living in New York, Riis experienced poverty and became a police reporter writing about the quality of life in the slums. He attempted to alleviate the bad living conditions of poor people by exposing their living conditions to the middle and upper classes.
